Step 3:
Set up the belts as necessary to obtain the desired speed range. The
variable speed selector dial can be used to adjust the speed within the range.
High Range-Speed Set-up
Use the procedure below to set up for high speed (1500 to 3000 RPM)
operations.
Step 1:
Release the belt tensioned at the motor by rotating the tension lever
down.
Step 2:
Position the belt around the largest sheave of the motor and the
smallest sheave on the spindle pulley.
Step 3:
Tension the belt by rotating the tension lever on the motor all the way
up.
Mid Range-Speed Set-up
Use the procedure below to set up for middle speed (400 to 1500 RPM)
operations.
Step 1:
Release the belt tensioned at the motor by rotating the tension lever
down.
Step 2:
Position the belt around the center sheave of the motor and the
largest sheave on the spindle pulley.
Step 3:
Tension the belt by rotating the tension lever on the motor all the way
up.
! NOTICE !
The life of the electrical system will be greatly extended and
available machine torque increased by using the lower pulley
setting and keeping the motor speed up.
Machines purchased after mid-2003 have the speed reducer
pulley installed on the machine. A retrofit kit, part number 40-
300G, to add this feature to earlier machines is available from
the Smithy Sales Department at 1-800-476-4849 or at
