Drive Belt Gauge Instructions

How to the Drive Belt Gauge
The following instructions will describe how to use the SP6673 belt
tension gauge. Deviating from the instructions may result in inaccurate
readings and may potentially cause premature failure to the drive belt
or damage to the machine.
Procedure
1 Fully depress the ball so the hook engages the belt.
2 Hold the gauge square to the edge of the belt, and release the ball
using a quick, snapping motion.
a) Gear belt tension gauge position: Tension gauge finger must land
on top peak of gear belt tooth, not in valley between.
b) Tension gauge should be in the middle 1/3 of the free span of
belt, not too near to either fixed point.
c) Tension gauge must be pressed up against edge of belt.
d) Tension gauge has some internal friction and can show incorrect
results. To overcome this- once the gauge is in place on the belt,
tap on the back of the gauge with a small hand tool (screwdriver,
wrench, etc) 5-8 times before reading.
