    TENSIONER BOLTS ARE SECURE BEFORE REPLACING THE COVER. “Belts will be sufficiently tensioned if the deflection force applied at mid span to produce a deflection equal to 16mm per meter of span distance falls between 5 and 9 Newtons per Rib” (TBA Belting). In practical terms this relates to about 5mm of deflection under moderate finger pressure on the non tensioner side. If fitting new belts it is advisable to observe the drive for the first 20-30 minutes. It may be necessary to make an adjustment to compensate for the normal drop in tension during the run-in period.
