Tensioning/
Replacing V-Belts
After approximately 16 hours of operation,
V-belts will stretch and seat into pulley
grooves and need to be properly tensioned
to avoid severely reducing life of V-belts.
Three V-belts transfer power from the motor to the
cutterhead, and then to the infeed and outfeed
rollers with the use of the drive chain system. To
ensure efficient transfer of power to these sys-
tems, make sure the V-belts are always properly
tensioned and in good condition.
If the V-belts are worn, cracked, or damaged,
replace them. Always replace the V-belts with a
matched set of three, or belt tension may not be
even among the belts, causing premature belt
failure.
V-belts and pulleys will be hot after opera-
tion. Allow them to cool before handling.
