Drive Belt Adjustment
CAUTION: Unplug the machine before performing any adjustments.
Check the belt tension quarterly. Proper belt tension is ½" deflection
measured mid way between the drive and driven pulleys. If the deflection is
more than ½" adjust the motor height to achieve proper tension using the
following procedure:
1) Unplug the unit and remove the side and rear panels.
2) Locate the motor flange bearings (W0380009) located at each end of
the drive motor. Two bearings support the motor, one on the shaft at
each end of the motor. The bearings are secured to the motor cradle
using two Allen bolts on each bearing.
3) Loosen all four bearing Allen bolts. NOTE: Do not loosen the setscrews
that hold the bearing collars to the motor shaft.
4) Lower or raise the motor as needed to achieve proper belt tension. The motor must be kept level from front
to back. NOTE: Excessive belt wear and belt noise can occur if the motor is not kept level.
5) Tighten all four Allen bolts down.
6) Align the driven motor pulley with the top driven pulley if needed. Use a straight edge along the top pulley. If the
pulleys are not in alignment, remove the setscrew from the pulley and move either in or out as needed.
NOTE: Use non-permanent Loc-Tite on the driven pulley setscrew and tighten down on the flat of the motor shaft.
