ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS
ASSEMBLING AND ALIGNING MOTOR, MOTOR PULLEY AND BELTS
1. Assemble the motor to the motor mounting plate, as shown in Fig.5.
NOTE : It is very important that the motor be mounted to motor plate by
using the mounting hardware (A) Fig.5.
2. Assemble the motor pulley to the motor shaft with the key in place and
tighten the hex. bolt in the motor shaft, as shown in Fig.6.
3. Using a straight edge, align the motor and cutterhead pulleys as shown
in Fig.7, the motor plate (B) Fig.5 can be moved for alignment by
loosening the set screws (C) in the motor plate (B) as shown in Fig.5.
4. Assemble the belts to the two pulleys, as shown in Fig.7. and adjust for
the proper belt tension by raising or lowering the motor plate, as shown
in Fig.8, then tighten the nuts (A) Fig.8. Correct tension is obtained when
there is approx. 1/4” deflection of the center span of the pulleys by using
light finger pressure.
