Tensioning/Replacing.Belt
Over time, the belt can stretch and wear based upon
the workload applied, operating environment, and
storage conditions. As the machine is used over time,
the belts will slightly wear and stretch, eventually losing
their efficiency of transmitting power, until they can be
re-tensioned. Regularly check belt tension (deflection),
and belt wear to determine if belt needs to be replaced.
Belt deflection should be
