Check Actuator Belt Tension
The Actuator Belt tension should be measured after its first 30-40 hours of run time, then annu-
ally after that. To measure belt tension, follow the instructions below.
1. Position the Pick Head Carrier so the edge of the carrier is 6" from the inside end of the
Actuator Head.
2. Position a force gauge on the Belt 2” from the inside end of the Actuator Head.
3. Deflect the Belt 1/4" (6 mm) in either direction. The force gauge should read between 12
and 16 lbs. [53 - 62 N].
Note: Contact V-TEK Service for tensioning procedure if belt tension is outside tolerance.
