3. Use a 9/16” socket with an extension (not supplied). |
Place it in one of the two holes where the hole plugs were |
removed. Loosen one hex bolt, then the other to relieve |
tension on the motor. (One is shown at (D) Fig. 26). Apply |
upward pressure on the motor (located under the machine) |
to relieve tension on the belt. Replace or change the belt |

positions on the pulleys. IMPORTANT: When the belt is on |
the inner pulleys (F) Fig. 26, the sanding drum speed is 3300 |
SFM. When the belt is positioned on the outer pulleys (G) |
Fig. 27, drum speed is 2210 SFM. NOTE: Position the poly- |
v drive belt on the pulleys correctly to provide maximum |
performance with minimal belt wear. |
4. After the belt (E) Fig. 28 has been repositioned or |
replaced on the pulleys, apply downward pressure on the |
motor and tighten the two hex head bolts (D) (loosened in |
STEP 3). |
5. Use light finger pressure on the belt (E) Fig. 28 midway |

between pulleys to check for proper tension. A deflection of |
approximately 3/16" is correct. |
6. Replace the hole plugs (B) Fig. 25. |
