Tightening the Belt (Continued)
Loosen the lockbolt located below the belt adjustment mechanism. See the next
illustration. Locate the adjustment bolt below the belt and turn it counter clockwise with
a wrench to increase tension on the belt or clockwise to reduce tension on the belt. The
drive belt should be just tight enough that, using moderate finger pressure, it would
deflect about 3/8 of an inch when pressed midway between the motor drive pulley and
the driven pulley. Once the correct tension has been obtained retighten the lockbolt.
