4) Measuring tension
1
Lower indicator arm (1) into the scale.
•
Apply tester to belt at a point midway
between two pulleys so that edge of
contact surface (2) is flush with the V-
belt.
•
Slowly depress pad (3) until the
spring can be heard to disengage.
This will cause the indicator to move
upwards. If pressure is maintained
after the spring has disengaged a
false reading will be obtained!
