BELT ADJUSTMENT
CHECKING BELT TENSION.
Check belt tension should be occasionally, especially if looseness
is suspected. New belts must also be properly tensioned upon
installation.
TENSIONING BELTS.
Belt tensioning can be achieved by loosening the motor or engine
anchor screws, pushing the motor or engine away from the pump,
and retightening the motor or engine anchor screws. Some units are
equipped with a belt tensioning bolt that, when turned, pulls the
motor or engine away from the pump. Otherwise, the motor can be
easily moved by placing a prying tool beneath it. A commercially
available spreader or other belt tensioning device can also be helpful.
Follow the procedures outlined below to correctly set and measure
belt tension on electric motor and engine driven models including
2340, 2475, and 2545 (with "A" belt type only). Refer to the following
illustration for a visual representation.
