a)
Best tension is the lowest tension at which the belts will not slip under the highest load

b) Check tension after the first two to four hours and again after 24 to 48 hours of operation,
then periodically thereafter.
c) If a belt slips, tighten it.
8.
Retighten motor hold-down bolts after each adjustment.
