Belt Tension Adjustment (Figure Mnt-B-0010)
Loosen nuts on the 4 studs and the jam nut.
Use a hand wrench or socket to tension the belts.
Never use power or air equipment to tighten belt! This could cause damage to belt, sheave,
shaft and bearings
Once the belts begin to tighten, small adjustments will produce large changes in tension.
Belts should be tensioned 15-20 lbs of force for 5/16 inches deflection.
Tighten nuts on studs and jam nut to hold tension.
