DAILY INSPECTION
DRIVE BELTS AND SHEAVES
Fig.3
Check all Drive Belts for signs of cracking, excessive
wear, cuts, or stretching.
Sheaves must be kept free of debris.
Worn Sheaves allow a belt, that has no excessive
wear, to ‘bottom out’ in the ‘vee’ groove.
A shiny, polished track in the bottom of the ‘vee’
groove is evidence of a badly worn drive belt and/or
Sheave.
PRIMARY BELTS
Fig.4
The Primary Drive Belts are tensioned by spring
tensioned ‘idlers’.
There should be 1/2 inch deflection of the belt when
pressed ‘down’ mid-way between the Sheaves.
Increase or decrease the belt tension by adjusting the
Belt Idler Adjusting Nut.
REEL DRIVE BELTS
Fig.5
Check that the Telescopic Arm is free by pulling it ‘up’,
it should slide freely against spring pressure.
Apply grease to the grease fitting.
