BELT SERVICE
Belt Replacement
One of the major causes of belt failure is improper
installation. Before installing a new belt, check the fol-
lowing:
1. Check pulley shafts and bearings for wear.
2. Check pulley grooves for cleanliness.
3. Make sure spindles turn freely and without wobble.
If grooves require cleaning, moisten a cloth with a non-
flammable, non-toxic degreasing agent or commercial
detergent and water.
Avoid excessive force during installation. Do not use
tools to pry belt into pulley groove. Do not roll belt over
pulleys to install. This can cause hidden damage and
premature belt failure.

Use care when installing or removing belt from
spring-loaded idler. Springs store energy when
extended and, if released suddenly, can cause per-
sonal injury.
4. Slide belt under drive pulley A and over idler arm.
Position the belt around drive pulley A.
5. Loosen the bolt holding belt guide G and swing it
away from pulley B. Route the belt around pulley D
as shown.
6. Make sure the belt is on drive pulley A; route
around idler F.
7. Grasp the belt between spindle pulley B and
spindle pulley D. Drive pulley A. Pull spring loaded
idler with belt to obtain enough belt length to route
it over pulley B. Make sure spring loaded idler
pivots freely with belt installed.
8. Adjust belt guide G to provide 1/16" to 1/8"
clearance from belt. Tighten the bolt to 85 lbs./ft.

1. Slide the belt under drive pulley A and over idler
arm. Position the belt around drive pulley A.
2. Loosen the bolt holding belt guide G and swing it
away from pulley B. Route the belt around pulley B,
idler C, and pulley D as shown.
3. Make sure the belt is on drive pulley A; route
around idler F.
4. Grasp the belt between spindle pulley E, spring
loaded idler F, and spindle pulley D. Pull spring
loaded idler with belt to obtain enough belt length
to route it over pulley E. Make sure spring loaded
idler pivots freely with belt installed.
5. Adjust belt guide G to provide 1/16" to 1/8"
clearance from belt. Tighten bolt to 85 lbs-ft.
