V-BELT ADJUSTMENT AND REMOVAL
All V-Belts on the Supreme Finisher should be checked monthly for proper tension and
general condition. Loose V-Belts will decrease the power available to the various tools and
lower the efficiency of your Finisher.
If you discover a worn or frayed belt, replace it now so it won’t break at an inconvenient
time.
WARNING:
Disconnect electrical power supply before working on the machine.
TO CHECK V-BELT TENSION:
1.
Disconnect the electrical power supply.
2.
Check the tension of the V-belt running to the motor; it should depress
approximately ½” when pressed in the middle with moderate force.
3.
Rotate the V-belts by hand, visually inspecting the belts for damage.
4.
If tensions or conditions are bad, adjust tension or replace V-belt.
WARNING:
Do not over tighten V-belts, as to do so will cause rapid belt wear and
premature bearing failure.
After making adjustments, remove all wrenches and other tools before
operating the Finisher.
