DIRECT DRIVE
A dial irdbalo, is lhe b€sl device lor checking alignment. For most couplings a straighl €dgo may be used on
@ and sire ot coupling (holding a light or pieco of white paper behind the couplino will help). Raise o.lower

BELT DFIVE
Shoavss and bells musl be clean and dry. Do nol apply beh dressing. For maximum bslt and bearing lit€,
sheavgs must be in good alignrn€nl and bets must bg under poper tension.
Check alignm€d with draight edge or cord across the faces ol both sheaves. This should show square
