Servicing Engine Belt
• When belt tension is adjusted properly,
tighten all four engine bolts (3/4”) and
torque bolts to 300 ft-lb. Next make
sure all jam nuts on the adjustment bolts
are tightened.
• Retighten the bolts on the dust protection
plate that is behind the engine sheave
and attached to the belt guard. Make
sure the sections of the plate are pushed
as close together as possible without
rubbing the engine shaft to keep out as
much debris as possible.
• Replace belt guard covers and tighten
them securely. NEVER run a machine
without the guards and covers in place
and secured properly, severe personal
injury could occur.
GENERAL TENSIONING OF V-BELT DRIVES
A few simple rules about tensioning will satisfy most of your requirements.
1. The best tension for the V-belt drive is
the lowest tension at which the belt will
not slip under the highest load condition.
2. Check the tension on a new belt
frequently during the first day of
operation.
3. Thereafter, check the belt tension
periodically.
4. Too much tension shortens belt and
bearing life.
5. Keep belts and sheaves free from any
foreign material that may cause slippage.
