12.3 EVERY 6 MONTHS
Disconnect power and check for loose electrical connections.
Tighten all bolts and nuts that may have loosened due to vibration.
Check V belts. Adjust or replace as follows:
12.3.1 Inspecting V Belts:
1.
Remove the pump from service and disconnect electrical power.
2.
To inspect V belts, remove the 2 fasteners on the outside panel of the
belt guard (Figure 2, shown on the next page) and carefully examine
each belt for excessive stretch, looseness, frayed surfaces or exposed
cord. Replace all belts if one or more belts are found to be excessively
worn. Always replace belts as a set; never individually.
3.
Inspect the belt tension using the specifications in the following chart.
Once belts are found in good condition and tensioned properly, replace
the outside panel ensuring 2 fasteners are installed properly. Never
operate the pump without the belt guard firmly installed.
