The Verti-Top is standard equipped with adjustable tension pulleys that keep the V-belts
taut.
Depending on the intensity of using the machine, wear and tear can occur to the driveline
resulting in slipping of the V-belts. These V-belts should then be tightened.
Adjusting the tension pulleys is done as follows
(see Figure 15)
:
Make sure that the Verti-Top is blocked well and cannot move on its
own accord!
Make sure that the PTO axle is detached from the Verti-Top!
1. Remove all nuts (1) and the safety cap (2).
2. Loosen the lock nut (3).
3. Loosen the nut (4) slightly so that the tension is just off.
4. Adjust the bolt (5) and adjust with this the tension of the V-belts by moving
the tension pulley.
5. Check the tension of the V-belt by pulling on point A with a tension of 4.5 kg
(9.9lbs). The stretch should be 2 mm (0.08”).
6. Tighten the nut (4).
7. Tighten the lock nut (3).
8. Return the safety cap (2) to its location and mount all nuts (1).
