Routine Maintenance
DRIVING BELTS
The final drive to reel is via hard wearing TBA poly-V type belts which provide for
smooth trouble free operation. To ensure the best performance the
following instructions should be carefully followed.
Belt tension is the single most important factor necessary for long, satisfactory service
life of any belt drive.
Under-tensioning leads to belt slip causing rapid wear; over tensioning means
excessive strain on belt and bearings. Between these two extreme conditions is a
reasonable range of tension within which the belt will operate. Belt tension can be
assessed by the ‘deflection’ method.
CORRECTION CAN BE MADE BY ADJUSTMENT OF THE BELT TENSIONERS. REMOVE
THE DRIVING BELT COVER. THE BELT TENSIONERS ARE RETAINED IN A SLOTTED
HOLE ALLOWING ADJUSTMENT TO BE MADE ONCE THE HOLDING HEXAGON
HEADED BOLTS HAVE BEEN LOOSENED. WHEN ADJUSTED CORRECTLY THE
TENSIONERS SHOULD STILL ROTATE EASILY WITH FINGER PRESSURE. ENSURE THE
TENSIONER BOLTS ARE SECURE BEFORE REPLACING THE COVER.
NOTE
“Belts will be sufficiently tensioned if the deflection force applied at mid span to produce a deflection equal to 16mm per
meter of span distance falls between 5 and 9 Newtons per Rib” (TBA Belting).
In practical terms this relates to about 5mm of deflection under moderate finger pressure on the non tensioner side.
If fitting new belts it is advisable to observe the drive for the first 20-30 minutes. It may be necessary to make an
adjustment to compensate for the normal drop in tension during the run-in period.
