V-Belt
Avoid getting grease or oil on the V-belts or pul-
leys. Check the V-belts, as part of a monthly
inspection for proper tension and belt condition.
Cracking and glazing could result in belt failure.
Replace the belt if such conditions appear.
To loosen/tighten belt tension:
1. Thread in the motor mount adjustment bolts
(Figure 23) to loosen the V-belt. Unthread
the
adjustment bolts to tighten the V-belt.
