6.1 Adjusting belt tension
Fig. 14 Adjusting tension of v-belts ( inspection of belt tension )
Adjusting of v-belt tension must be done when machine and tractor are turned off. Please
check belt tension through the check hole, removing the cap by unscrewing two bolts. Belt
deflection at a pressure of 100N (10kgG) should not exceed 20 - 30 mm. In the event of failure
of one belt, replace the entire set.
Adjustment of V-belt tension:
Unscrew the countering screws (4.8)
Change the position of the spring (4.6), moving it by the nut (4.8)
Counter the nuts (4.8)
Inspect the V-belts periodically (at least once in a season and every time before starting work).
The belts should be tensioned in such a way that the slip on the wheel does not exceed 1%. If
the tension is too little, it causes the belts slipping. If the belts are too tight, the life of the belts
is shortened and the bearings become excessively worn. The tension of the belts should be
lessened when storing the machine
.
