To access the motor pulley remove the cross head screw from the motor 
pulley access hatch cover using a cross head screwdriver (not supplied) and 
remove the cover, 

Fig 11.16

.

Loosen the motor securing lever and raise the motor to its highest position 
using the motor positioning lever, 

Fig 11.17

, and re-tighten the motor 

securing lever to hold it in place. The drive belt will now be loose enough to 
place in the desired position, 

Figs 11.18

 and 

11.19

.

Ensure the V grooves of the drive belt are positioned in the grooves of the 
pulleys as shown in 

Fig 11.18

. Turn the hand wheel by hand to check they 

are located correctly.

Once the drive belt is positioned as desired, loosen the motor securing 
lever and lower the motor until it is at its lowest position - The weight of 
the motor provides sufficient tension to the drive belt. Tighten the motor 
securing lever, re-fit the headstock cover and the motor pulley access hatch 
cover.
