v-belt tension oil reservoirs
the v-belts must be properly tensioned to ensure
proper power transmission and machine func-
tionality. the v-belts slightly stretch with use and
must be checked on a monthly basis.
checking v-belt tension
1. disConneCt lAthe FroM poWer!
2. remove the headstock cover.
3. push the center of the v-belts (the mid-point
between the pulleys) with moderate pres-
sure to check the belt deflection, as shown in
figure 80.
the v-belt deflection should be approximately
1 ⁄
4
". if the deflection is greater than this, then
the belt must be adjusted tighter.
adjusting v-belts
1. Follow the Checking V-Belt Tension steps
1-2 above.
2. loosen the motor mount plate bolts (see
figure 102 on page 56), then make sure the
motor mount plate slides up and down.
3. push down on the motor with one hand to
tension the belts, then tighten the motor
mount bolts with your other hand to lock the
motor in place.
4. recheck belt deflection and readjust if neces-
sary.
