4.Align the inside edge of the motor pulley with inside edge of the large pulley using a straight edge. Using a 3mm hex “L” wrench, adjust one or both pulleys by loosening the set screw and moving the pulley(s) until they line up with each other. Tighten set screws.

5.Place V-belt over both pulleys.
