Adjusting Belt Tension

For Puller Model CPC 1-12 (continued)

5 Fine tune tension:

• Lower the belts to a gap of about 1/8 inch (3 mm).

See Installation Section entitled, Setting the 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 inch. The shape of the gap should not be

concave (over-tightened) or convex (too loose).

• Check tension and re-adjust as necessary.

For Puller Model CPC 3-20

1 Turn the main power disconnect to the off position.

2 Remove the belt guards. Remove the screws attaching guards to unit (four on

each guard: top, bottom, front and rear). Disconnect the safety cable on the

upper guard. Lift off and remove guard.

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

enough to prevent slipping, and the gap between the upper and lower belts

should be even across the width of the belt.

NOTE: Loose belts result in belt and product slippage; over-tightened belts result in distorted

product and can lead to premature bearing failure.
