Figure 3C. 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
shields and/or guards in place over the
drive shaft, belts, and/or couplings, or
other rotating parts. Exposed rotating
parts can catch clothing, fingers, or
tools, causing severe injury to person-
nel.
