Troubleshooting
Use the illustrations and instructions to adjust the
air clutch belt tension. Adjustment is only needed if
the belt is loosened or removed to service other
system components.
Note: Certain components have been removed
from the illustrations to provide a clear view
of the equipment.
Moving Parts
• Rotating parts can cause
severe injury or death.
• Do not enter or reach into
the compartment when
equipment is operating.
1 Remove the top half of the belt guard.
2 Loosen the screw on the back of the idler
plate.
3 Turn the adjustment screw clockwise to
increase the belt tension or counterclockwise
to decrease the belt tension.
4 Set the belt tension to allow for 1/4 to 5/16 inch
deflection when 10 to 12 lbf are applied to the
longest span.
Note: Do not over-tighten the belt. Extremely
high tension can reduce belt life and
damage other drive components.
5 Tighten the idler plate screw to hold the
adjustment block in position.
6 Install the top half of the belt guard.
