1.
The variable pulley is the inner one
located closest to the net unit side.
Insert the net-unit handle provided,
into the slot on the spring-loaded belt
tensioner and pull the handle
forwards, until the hook can be
swung up to latch the tensioner bolt
temporarily, as shown. The belt
should now be slack, allowing the
variable pulley to be adjusted, as
required.
2.
The variable pulley is in two halves,
with one side threaded into the other.
The outer pulley half is secured in
place using an M10 grub screw
fastened onto the flat sides of the
inner pulley.
Using a 5 mm allen key, loosen back
the grub screw 5 turns.
With the grub screw loosened, the
pulley can be threaded inwards or
outwards depending on the net
tension setting required.
3.
By referencing to the diagram, the
desired net tension can be achieved
by measuring the distance ‘x’ as
indicated in the diagram.
With the required tension setting
achieved, tighten the grub screw.
Warning!
Ensure that the grub
screw is tightened onto the flat
surfaces on the inner pulley and not
on the threads.
