Caution
If there is belt de ection when you tighten the tension adjustment bolt to adjust the belt tension, the ribs of the
belt will be offset from the pulley, which may result in the belt slipping off. In particular, there is a high risk of the
belt slipping off if the ribs are offset at the locations indicated by the circles in Figure 9 because of the rotation
direction after operation starts. Be sure to support the belt with a hand while tightening the tension adjustment
bolt. Furthermore, make sure you check that the belt has not come off before performing a test run.
