DRIVING MOTOR BELT ADJUSTMENT

In some versions (e.g. MODULE 120), 
there is a belt and pulley drive between 
the motor and the driving roller. Refer 
to the “Assembly drawings” document 
for further details.
To pull the belt taut, proceed as follows.

1 -Open the guard over the driving 

unit and make sure there is no 
slack on the 

roller

. A flexible 

displacement of approximately 0.5 
mm is normal. If the roller moves 
more, proceed with the steps listed 
below.

2 -Loosen the driving motor coupling 

cage 

bolts

.

3 -Move the 

motor

 with one hand, 

shifting it outwards without exerting 
an excessive force, then tighten the 

bolts

.

An automatic sprung tensioning 
system ensures the right tension on the 
drive belt. Refer to the “Assembly 
drawings” document.
