Assembling V-belt
1. Position the V-Belt (A) Fig.11 around the motor pulley (B) and then over the drum
pulley (C). It may be neccessary to lift the motor plate in order to place V-belt around
the pulleys. Then push the motor inward until it is directly under the drum pulley.
Tighten the motor hardware to secure the motor.
2. Push the motor and motor plate downward until the v-belt tension is tight. When
proper V-Belt tension is achieved, tighten the motor plate hardware to secure the motor
position.
3. Check if motor and V-belt turns correctly. Hand turn the drum pulley and verify that
motor pulley and drum pulley do not rub against any other part. Adjust motor location
as needed.
Proper V-Belt Tension
1. Press on the center of the longest span on the belt with moderate finger pressure. Then
measure the deflection distance, the distance that the belt moved. The belt should
deflect anywhere from 1/2" to 3/4". See Fig.12.
2. If the belt deflects too much, tighten belt by loosening the motor mounting bolts and
moving the motor away from the other pulley slightly. Secure motor mounting bolts and
retest tension.
3. If the belt deflects too little, loosen the motor plate bolts and lift it upward. Secure motor
mounting plate and retest tension.
Wiring Motor Cord to Switch
WARNING! Make sure power cord is disconnected from power source before attempting
to wire electrical wires to switch.
The motor cord is not wired to the switch. The motor cord black & white wire connectors
must be connected to the switch, the green ground wire must be secured to the motor
housing cover. To wire motor cord to switch, follow these instructions;
1. Locate the motor housing cover. Unscrew and remove 3 small pan head screws and
slide the switch box cover (A) Fig.13 out of the way.
2. Position the motor housing cover close enough to the motor so the motor cord (B) can
reach the switch box. Insert the 3 motor cord wires into the switch box and secure
motor cord to switch box using a strain relief wire clamp (C).
3. Then connect the black and white wire connectors (D) to the bottom terminals on the
switch. Either wire connector can be connected to either terminal.
4. Undo the top grounding hex. nut (E) and secure green ground wire (F) to screw.
5. Secure the switch box cover (A) using the same 3 pan head screws removed in step 1.
Installing Motor Housing Cover
1. Mount the motor housing cover (A) Fig.14 to the motor housing using 3 medium sized
pan head screws, washers and flange hex. nuts (B).
CAUTION! Make sure that the power cord from the motor to the switch does not come in
contact with any moving parts.
