7500 SERVICING BELTS

Replacing Poly Chain® Belt

• To tighten the belt more if needed, loosen the

front bolts and tighten each of the back jam

bolts the same number of revolutions, to keep

the alignment true. Make only slight

adjustments at a time and recheck tension;

repeat as necessary until tension is correct.

Then once the belt is adjusted, tighten the front

bolts against the bearing. Recheck belt

alignment after tightening all bolts and nuts to

make sure the belt is sill aligned.

• Use this same procedure to tighten loose belts.

• DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN BELT; OVERLY

TIGHT BELTS WILL CAUSE BEARING

AND ENGINE DAMAGE. To loosen the

tension on a belt, loosen the jam bolt and tighten

the bolt on the other side of the bearing.

Always make slight, equal adjustments on both

bearings and recheck tension.

• Replace belts when worn or when repeated

adjustments are necessary. Belts should never

get so loose that all of the adjustment capability

is used.

• Retighten the bolts in the jackshaft bearings

when the tension is adjusted properly.

• Retighten the bolts and nuts that are holding the

belt guard to the machine.

• Replace belt guard cover and bottom. Tighten

the bolts. DO NOT RUN MACHINE

WITHOUT ALL GUARDS IN PLACE AND

SECURED.
