Pulley and Flywheel -- Alignment
The compressor flywheel and motor pulley must be inline
(in the same plane) within 1/16" to assure belt retention
within sheave grooves. To check align ment, disconnect
spark plug wire and remove the beltguard. Place a
straightedge against the outside of the flywheel and
measure the distance from it to the nearest groove.
Alignment isachieved when the other end of the straight-
edge is within f/16" of the measured dimension at the
pulley grooves. Squareness is achieved when the pulley
grooves are an equal distance from the straightedge on
both sides of the motor shaft.
