Barranca Diamond GP-6 Cabmaker - Manual (Page 11)

PRE-START
Your unit is assembled at the factory such that the Belt tension between the GP-6 Cabmaker and the
electric motor is set to the required tension. Finger tip pressure on the belt (halfway between the motor
and drive shaft pulleys) should show approximately 1/2" of belt deflection (Fig 1). If the belt requires
adjustment, loosen the motor mounting bolts and move the motor slightly toward the polisher to de-
crease belt tension or away from the polisher to increase belt tension. Tighten the motor mount bolt
and recheck the belt tension. When the belt is properly tensioned, check that all motor mount bolts are
securely tightened and replace the belt guard.
Check all four motor mount bolts (Fig 2), motor arbor pulley setscrew (Fig 3), wheel shaft pulley set-
screw (Fig 4), and belt guard mounting nuts to make sure they are tight.
