V-BELT DRIVE MAINTENANCE:
If belts squeal excessively at start-up, they are too loose and should be tightened. Periodically, check
belt and sheave wear, alignment, and tension. When belts show wear, replace all belts at once with a new
matched set of belts. New belts will not work properly in conjunction with used belts due to difference in
length. Belts and sheaves should be clean and free from grease. After installing new belts, check tension
midway between sheaves. Belts should deflect about 1/64" per inch of span length with approximately 20
LBS. force. Allow unit to run for 4-6 hours, then it will be necessary to re-tighten belts again as new belts
tend to stretch initially.
