New belts have to be re-tensioned after 24 hours operation.
If belt tensioning is required, please proceed as follows:
1. Loosen the lock nuts on the motor base adjusting screws.
2. Turn the motor base adjusting screws clockwise to tension the belt, or counter-clockwise to relieve belt
tension. During adjustment of belt tension the drives should be rotated several times by hand to evenly
distribute the tension throughout the belt.
3. When the belt is properly tensioned, re-tighten the locking nuts on the motor base adjusting screws.
There should be no "chirp" or "squeal" when the fan motor is started.
