Do not force the belts into the pulley grooves by prying with a screwdriver or pry bar. This will damage
the belt side cords which will cause the belts to turn and result in complete destruction of the belts in
operation.
6.
Belts on new machines and replacement belts lose their tension as they seat into the pulley grooves.
Check the tension of new belts at 20 hour intervals until tension is stabilized and thereafter, every 250
hours. If the tension falls below the required minimum, the belt slips damaging the belts and pulley
grooves.
NOTE:
When operating in abrasive conditions, check tension every 100 hours.
