BELT INSTALLATION AND TENSIONING
INSTALLATION
Adjust the sprockets using a straight edge. Slide up the edge on the larger pulley until it contacts the
smaller pulley. Properly adjusted pulleys will provide three points of contact. Properly aligned pulleys
will provide four points of contact. Tighten setscrews and recheck alignment.
TENSIONING
Check the force F required to provide a deflection of 1/8 in. If the measured force is less than 15 lbs
then lengthen centre distance C.
