Belt Adjustment

For optimal power transmission from the motor to the spindle, the belt must be in good condi- tion and properly tensioned. The belt should be checked for cracks, fraying and wear. Check belt tension every three months; more often if the lathe is used frequently.

Checking Belt

1.DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!

2.Open the cabinet door.

3.Push the center of the belt. It should feel rigid to the touch with almost no deflection or play.

—If the belt is cracked, frayed or glazed, it should be replaced immediately. Proceed to Changing Belt/Bearing Service on Page 42.

—If there is deflection in the belt, proceed to the Tensioning Belt subsection.

Tensioning Belt

1.DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!

2.Loosen the motor lock lever shown in Figure 56, raise the motor up using the height lever, then let the motor hang down on its own weight to tension the belt.

5.Close the cabinet door.
