ATTACHING AND ALIGNING V-BELT,
ADJUSTING BELT TENSION
1. Attach the V-belt (E) Fig. 9 on the two pulleys (A and B),
and adjust the belt tension by raising or lowering the motor
(C) on the motor mounting bars (D). (If necessary, the motor
mounting bars (D) can be repositioned on the two posts (F).
Tension is correct when the belt is deflected approximately
1" in the center.
2.
Place a straight edge against the belt along the V-
groove of both pulleys. Visually check to see that both
pulleys are in line. Either pulley can be moved in or out by
loosening the set screw (the lower pulley set screw is shown
at (B) Fig. 7). After aligning, tighten the set screw. The motor
can also be moved on the mounting bars.
