For the MNBCDD model, the Auto Belt Tensioner comes from the factory mounted and preset for
adequate belt tension. If further tensioning is required, loosen the 3/8” bolt holding the tensioner to the
tensioner bracket. Then, using a 15/16” wrench, rotate the tensioner assembly such that the alignment
mark is between mark 1 and 2 on the idler arm (see Figure 21). Re-tighten the 3/8” bolt. Turn the blade
assembly by hand to insure free rotation.
Do Not Over Tension The Belt
. This will cause premature
belt and bearing failure. To check that the belt tension is not too high, place a finger midway between
the fan pulley and motor pulley and push inward about 1/2”. The force required to do this
is not
to
exceed 5 pounds.
If an Auto Belt Tensioner is ordered for use with a Model MNEFDD fan, use the instructions included in
the ABT packaging for proper installation and use.
NOTE: The Auto Belt Tightener comes standard with Model MNBCDD, and is an optional accessory for
Model MNEFDD.
