Figure 4C. Alignment of V‐Belt Driven Pumps
Tighten the belts in accordance with the belt manu­
facturer's instructions. If the belts are too loose,
they will slip; if the belts are too tight, there will be
excessive power loss and possible bearing failure.
Select pulleys that will match the proper speed ra­
tio; overspeeding the pump may damage both
pump and power source.
Do not operate the pump without the
guard in place over the rotating parts
.
exposed rotating parts can catch cloth­
ing, fingers, or tools, causing severe in­
jury to personnel.
