Assembly INSTRUCTIONS/OPERATIONS

d)Tap the pulley/bushing assembly against the shaft shoulder with the soft hammer.

e)Tighten the 1/4 inch diameter capscrews progressively with a torque wrench to 95 inch pounds.

Note: this installation procedure is also used when installing replacement pulleys.

8)Belt alignment is checked with the straightedge. Place the straightedge squarely against the driveshaft pulley. Properly aligned pulleys should also place the straightedge squarely against the engine/electric motor pulley. Remove the straightedge and rotate the engine pulley 120 degrees. Recheck the alignment with the straightedge. Repeat the process until the engine/electric motor pulley has been rotated a full 360 degrees. Maximum allowable misalignment is +- 1/32 inch. FIGURE 36.

If engine crankshaft/electric motor pulley alignment needs to be adjusted, proceed as follows:

a) Using the 7/16 inch wrench, remove the two 1/4 inch diameter capscrews from the engine pulley bushing.

b)Insert the capscrews into the tapped holes in the bushing flange. Tighten progressively until the bushing disengages from the pulley.

c)Insert the 1/4 inch diameter capscrews into the tapped holes in the pulley. Tighten progressively until the bushing applies tension to the pulley.

d)Using the straightedge for reference alignment purposes, tap the engine/electric motor pulley/bushing into proper position.

e)Tighten the 1/4-inch diameter capscrews progressively with the torque wrench to 95 inch pounds. FIGURE 37.

f)Recheck alignment as outlined per the beginning of Step 8.

9)Apply increased belt tension by progressively tightening the take-up capscrews against the engine crankcase/electric motor thrust plate.

a) Recheck V-belt alignment.

b)Check belt tension with the spring scale or belt tension tool midway between the engine/electric motor and driveshaft pulleys. Belt deflection should measure approximately 3/16 inch at 3-7/8 to 5-1/2 pounds force. FIGURE 38.

c)If belt tension and alignment is within specifications, torque the engine/electric motor attachment capscrews to 20 ft lbs (27 Nm.)

d)Recheck V-belt tension and alignment.

10)Install the belt guard to the main frame. Install the flat washers and self-locking hexagon nuts. Torque the nuts to 35 ft lbs (47 Nm.). Determine that all safety related decals affixed to the belt guard are fully readable. If any decal is not fully readable, replace with a factory approved, replacement part only.
