BELT TENSION
Pic. 15
Correct belt tension is paramount to a safe and
reliable air compressor. Too tight a belt can cause
damage to bearings and premature motor failure.
These failures will not be covered by warranty.
Too loose a belt can cause poor performance and
excess heat due to slippage which can also lead
to premature component failure. This will not be
covered by warranty. To check the belt tension,
gently push down midway between the two pulleys
the belt should only move between 10mm –
15mm, Pic. 15. If the belt moves more that this
amount then you will need to tighten the belt.
To adjust the belt tension, follow these simple
steps;
1. Loosen the motor bolts, Pic. 15.
2. Slide the motor forward or backward to
correct
position.
3. Tighten the motor bolts.
4. Check belt tension and repeat if needed.
5. If uncertain about attempting the above steps
please consult an authorised service agent.
