ALIGNING PULLEYS
1.
Place belt (A) Fig. 11, in groove of cutterhead pulley
(B) and motor pulley (C).
2.
Make certain the motor pulley (C) Figs. 11 and 12, is
properly aligned with cutterhead pulley (B) by placing a
straight edge (D) Fig. 12, onto the face of each pulley as
shown.
3.
If an adjustment is needed, the motor pulley can be
moved in or out on the motor shaft, or the motor can be
shifted by loosening motor mounting screws, two of
which are shown at (E) Fig. 11. After adjustments are
made, tighten motor mounting hardware and motor
pulley set screw.
ADJUSTING BELT TENSION
1.
Correct belt tension is obtained when there is
approximately 1" deflection at the center span of the
belt using light finger pressure.
2.
If an adjustment is required, the motor can be raised
or lowered to obtain the correct belt tension.
3.
Tighten motor mounting hardware after tension is
applied, making sure alignment of the pulleys is not
disturbed.
