Belt tightness
Before increasing the tightness of the belts, the inspection window should be open. In order to do so, unscrew two M8
screws (1). Afterwards, loosen the M14 screw (2) located in the inspection hole. The next step is to loosen the M12 nut
(4) by turning it clockwise. Properly tightened belts should move down 15-20 mm while trying to clench them together (if
the tightness check is needed, the cover (5) should also be removed. It is attached to the body by means of M8x30
screws with flat washers (6). After regulating the belts, tighten the M14 screw (2). By means of the M 12 nut (3), tighten
up the said screw and close the inspection hole by means of M8 screws (1). The tightness of the belt should be checked
periodically as it greatly influences the longevity of the components in question.
