Testing Belt Tension (continued)
4 Adjust belt tension, if necessary.
Adjust tension by turning the threaded tension rod.
5 Fine tune tension:
• Lower the belts to a gap of about 1/8" (3 mm). See Installation Section
entitled, Adjusting Belt Gap.
• From the upstream end of the belts, look down the length of the belts at
the gap between the belts. If the gap is not even, adjust the tension until the
gap is even and measures 1/8”. The shape of the gap should not be concave
(over-tightened) or convex (too loose).
• Check tension and readjust as necessary.
