Replacing The Drive Belt - Clarke CS4-6E Operation & Maintenance Instructions Manual

REPLACING THE DRIVE BELT

1. Using a cross head screwdriver,
remove the screw located in the
middle of the cover.
2. Remove the cover.
3. Loosen (3) screws to allow the
pulleys to move enough to pass
the belt around them. Pass the
belt around the motor pulley and
drive pulley as shown.
4. Slightly tighten (3) screws. Adjust
the tension of the belt by putting a
flat blade screwdriver into the
adjusting hole. Push up on the
screwdriver to increase the tension
between pulleys.
5. Tighten screws fully, being careful
not to disturb the belt.
6. Test belt tension by placing fingers
on either side of belt and squeeze.
• There should be about a 1/4"
give to the belt.
NOTE: Excessive tension on the pulley belt may cause increased noise
and over load the motor. Excessive looseness may cause the belt
to fail prematurely.
7. Replace the pulley cover and position it inside the relief edges of the pulley
housing.
8. Using a cross head screwdriver, refit and tighten the flat head screw.
