WARNING
• Insert a screwdriver tip into one of the nut ring slots
and brace it firmly against the trolley. (Figure 4)
• Place a 7/16" open end wrench on the square end.
Rotate about 1/4 turn until the spring releases and
snaps the nut ring against the trolley (Figure 5).
This extends the spring for optimum belt tension.
• Insert the trolley threaded shaft through the hole in
the trolley.
• Hold the belt at the trolley shaft to avoid twisting
as you thread the spring/trolley nut by hand on the
shaft until finger tight against the trolley (Figure 3).
Do not use any tools.
