Pulley Alignment

Pulley alignment is another important factor in power transmission and belt life. The pulleys should be parallel to each other and in the same plane (coplaner) for optimum performance.

Each pulley can be adjusted by loosening the motor mount fasteners, sliding the motor in or out, and retightening the fasteners to lock the motor pulley in place.
