12.11 Adjusting the tension of the v-belts
Figure 20
The Verti-Drain® 2519 is equipped with adjustable tension pulley that keeps the V-belts taut.
Depending on the intensity of using the machine, the driveline could be affected by wear and tear.
This can result in slipping of the V-belts; they should then be retightened.
Retightening is carried out as follows (see Figure 20):
Make sure that the Verti-Drain® 2519 is blocked well and cannot move on its own
accord.
Make sure that the PTO is detached from the Verti-Drain® 2519!
1. Remove the safety guards.
2. Check the tension of the V-belt by depressing the centre of the V-belt in point A using
a tension of 7.5 kg (16.5 lbs). Per belt, the depression should be 9 mm (0.35”).
Go to point 7 if the tension is correct and go to point 3 if the tension should be adjusted.
3. Loosen bolt (1) a single turn so that the tension arrangement can slide.
4. Adjust the nuts (2 & 3) and this way, adjust the tension of the V-belts.
Important: Make sure that all V-belts have the correct tension, so that the load is
equally divided over the V-belts at the left-hand and right-hand sides of the machine.
5. Tighten the nut (1).
6. Contra-tighten the nuts (2 & 3) against each other.
7. Place the safety guards.
The V-belt tension is important and should be checked regularly.
