5.0 MAINTENANCE
5.6 PULLEY ALIGNMENT
1.) Insert one end of the string inside the gap between belt and pulley.
2.) Rotate the pulley so that string is clipped between the pulley and the belt.
3.) Pull the other end of the string as per Figure 5.6.
4.) Inspect for any gap between the string and pulley at A and B.
5.) If any gap was found, then adjust either pulley to make the gap as small as possible.
6.) Repeat steps 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 for bottom of the same side, top and bottom of the other side.
(As shown as Figure 5.7)
Figure 5.6:
5.7 BELT TENSION INSPECTION GUIDE
1.) Measure the belt span (See Figure 5.7).
2.) Position of the “O” ring on the span scale at the measure belt.
3.) Set the “O” ring on the deflection force scale to zero.
4.) Place the tension meter squarely on the belt at the belt span. Apply a force on the plunger
and perpendicular to the belt span until the bottom of the “O” ring even the top of the next
belt or with the bottom of a straight edge laid across the sheaves.
5.) Remove the tension meter and read the force applied from the bottom of the “O” ring on
the deflection force scale.
