Drive Belt Tension - LeMond Fitness RevMaster 15100 Service Manual

To tension the belt, tighten the tension screw (with 5mm hex wrench) so the idler bearings begin to put
downward pressure on the belt . Test the belt tension intermittently while tightening the tension screw
by getting on the bike and standing up on the pedals . With the cranks parallel to the floor slowly rock
back and then give a quick downward thrust with your forward foot . If the belt slips, continue to tighten,
and repeat the process of testing and tightening until no slippage is detected . Also note that a heavier
person or one who uses very heavy resistance may need more tension on the belt . When the proper belt
tension is reached firmly tighten the shoulder bolt . If the tensioner bearings sit at an angle and are not
perpendicular to the frame after tightening, check to make sure the idler spacer that sits directly behind
the idler bearings is still sitting on the shoulder bolt with the bearings and has not fallen off . Reinstall
the belt cover .
