General
It is usual to experience spring setting during
breaking period of a new spring. The factory
spring preload is slightly higher to compensate for
spring setting. Specifications in TECHNICAL
DATA 09-03 are applicable after break-in period
(about 10 hours of use.)
Spring Torsional Pre-Load
To check spring pre-load adjustment, use spring
scale hook (P/N 529 0065 00) and a spring scale.
Remove drive belt.
Install the hook on the sliding half. Preventing
fixed half from turning, pull sliding half with the
spring scale perpendicularly with pulley axle.
Take 1
st
measurement when sliding half begins to
turn. Rotate sliding half to 10 mm (3/8 in) of rota-
tion. Hold fish scale at this position. Slowly re-
lease tension from fish scale and take 2
n d
measurement when sliding half begins to return.
Spring pre-load is the average measurement be-
tween these 2.
TYPICAL
