Testing Belt Tension

1 Turn the main power disconnect to the off position.

2 Remove the upper and lower belt guards:

• Remove the five (5) screws that attach the guard at the front.

• Disconnect the safety cable (upper guard).

• Lift off and remove guard.

3 Check belt tension. Use a tension-measuring tool. Belts should be just tight

enough, and the gap between the upper and lower belts should be even across

the width of the belt.

Maintenance

NOTE: It is important to have the proper belt tension. Loose belts result in belt

and product slippage; over-tightened belts result in distorted product and can

lead to premature bearing failure.
