X Motor Belt Tension
Note: This procedure requires using a 0 to 40 pound special service tool pull gauge.
1. Loosen the 4 X motor socket head cap screws enough for the motor to move on
the motor bracket. (Refer to Figure 2-7.)
2. Wrap a piece of small, strong cable or cord around the X motor drive pulley to
the side nearest the motor.
3. Form loops in the ends of the cable or cord and hook a 0 to 40 pound pull
gauge into the loops.
4. Pull straight down on the pull gauge until it reads 30 pounds.
5. While holding the pull gauge at the 30 pound reading, tighten the 4 motor
socket head cap screws to secure the motor with the belt tensioned at 30
pounds of pull.
6. Remove the cable or cord.
