6.6 Motor belt tension
The tension of the motor belt can be checked by pulling the belt up and down in the
middle between both pulleys. The full stroke must be about 10 mm.
To change the tension of the belt remove the locking nut on the spanner socket screw
of the motor belt. Turning the adjustment nut on the spanner socket screw will tilt the
motor upwards (increase tension), or downwards (decrease tension).
Caution: Do not over tighten the belt. This will shorten the service life of the motor
belt and it will make the drive motor run unnecessary heavy.
