Step 3 - Measure the Current Belt Tension
Use a tension meter to measure and record the
current skew motor belt tension (see Figure 4).
You will need to reset the belt tension to this
measurement later.
Step 4 - Replace the Motor
Follow the steps below to replace the skew
motor.
a. Disconnect the motor cable from the motor
(see Figure 4).
b. Using a 3/32" allen key, remove the four
screws and washers securing the skew motor
(see Figure 4) to the reflector bracket.
c. Gently slide the motor hub to relieve belt
tension. Then extract the motor.
d. Insert the new motor into place. Use the four
screws and washers you removed in Step b to
loosely fasten the skew motor to the reflector
bracket.
e. Connect the motor cable to the motor.
Step 5 - Set the Belt Tension
Follow the steps below to set the belt tension.
a. Using a tension meter, slide the motor hub as
necessary to achieve the reading you
measured in "Step 3 - Measure the Current
Belt Tension."
b. Tighten the motor screws once you achieve
the correct tension.
