MOTOR PULLEY ASSEMBLY
Fix the motor pulley Fig. 1 (A) onto the motor shaft mak-
ing sure the hub of the pulley is facing out. Insert key
into the keyway of the pulley and motor shaft. Make
sure you tighten the set screw Fig. 1 (C) with the allen
wrench supplied.
ALIGNING BELT PULLEYS
Place the belt around the pulleys on the motor and the
cutterhead. Using a straight edge on the face of both
pulleys make sure they are in line. If adjustment is
needed, the motor pulley can be moved foreward or
back on the motor shaft. An altenative is to loosen the
screws on the motor mounting plate Fig. 1 (B) and shift
the motor forward or back, be sure to tighten them
again afterwards.
CHECKING BELT TENSION
If the belt tension is correct, there should be 1" deflec-
tion at the centre span of the belt. If adjustment is
needed,the motor may be raised or lowered by loosen-
ing the motor mounting screws and pushing the motor
up or down to adjust tension. Don't forget to retighten
the screws after positioning is complete. Recheck pulley
alignment to ensure it has not been disturbed. Once you
are satisfied with the belt pulley arrangement, replace
the side panel.
