Checking the Belt Tension
Service Interval: Every 100 hours
Important:
The best belt tension for the machine
is the lowest tension at which the belts do not slip
under full power.
1. Lay a straight edge on the belt and across the
pulleys (Figure
1. Straight edge
2. With a force gauge, push down on the belt,
midway between the pulleys
Note:
The belt should deflect 7.6 mm (0.3 inch)
from the straight edge when pushing down on
the belt with 1.4 to 2.3 kg (3 to 5 lb) of force
(Figure 26).
Note:
If the belt tension is too low or too high,
adjust the belt tension; refer to
Tension (page
