Install belts on the lowest set of grooves. Slide the motor assembly

away from fan shaft and to remove belt slack and install bolts in tower

cross beams. Do not tighten at this time. Install the 6

″

all-thread bolt

on the motor plate and adjusting clip as shown in the Assembly Details

and Figure 3 or Figure 3A. Adjusting clip may have to be relocated to

another set of holes. Tighten the tensioning nut on the all-thread bolt

at the adjusting clip to tension belts. Proper tension is achieved when

a belt deflects about

" under a force of 5 to 7 pounds. Tighten jam

nut against the adjusting clip to lock adjustment. Tighten bolts in tower

cross beam.
