Check Drive Belt Tension

Proper belt tensioning is a fundamental factor in successful V-belt life.
Lack of tension will cause slippage, and too much tension will cause
excessive belt stretch as well as damage to the drive components, such as
bearings and shafts. Therefore, the following procedure is recommended to
ensure proper belt tension:
▪
At the mid-point of the span, apply a deflection force with a spring
scale in the direction perpendicular to the span until the belt is
deflected the 3/8 in.
▪
The recommended force to deflect the belt 3/8 of an inch is a
minimum of 5 lb to a maximum of 8 lb. Adjust belt tension to suit.
▪ The first 24 to 48 hours of operation is the belt "run in" period. To
ensure satisfactory belt performance, belt tension should be checked
during this time period.
Refer to the following pages for drive belt adjustment procedures.
