1. Before disassembling the used tread-belt,
place a tape measure along the right-hand
edge of the tread-belt and, using a pen, make
two reference marks spaced exactly 1 meter
apart.
2. After reassembling the used belt, lock down
the right belt tensioning screw a until the two
reference marks on the tread-belt are once
again 1 meter apart.
3. Lock down the left belt tensioning screw
until the rear roller is aligned with the
crosspiece.
This procedure is usually carried out
after replacing the motor or rear roller,
or in cases where the used tread-belt
must be reassembled: it is not possible to
perform the procedure as described in
paragraph 8.1. because the used tread-
belt is not sufficiently elastic.
After completing this procedure, check
the centering of the tread-belt as
described in paragraph 8.3. .
