D. Pulleys and V-Belt

Pulley alignment and proper V-Belt tension are crucial to increased belt life and optimal power transmission from motor to blade.

The motor pulley should already be centered under the slot in the stand top. Shift the driven pulley so it lines up with the motor pulley.

To align the driven pulley (Figure 4):

1.Loosen the setscrew on the back of the driven pulley.

2.Grasp the pulley on the top and bottom. Shift it along its shaft to line up the V- grooves on both pulleys. Use sight to judge their vertical alignment.

3.Tighten the setscrew on the driven pulley.

To install and properly tension the V- Belt:

1.Push the motor up to the top of its slots.

2.While holding the motor in place, slip the V-Belt into the grooves in the pulleys.

3.Slide the motor down until the V-Belt is properly tensioned. You should be able to deflect the belt about 1" at the midpoint. Use moderate finger pressure. Figure 5.

4.Check that the motor pulley is still in line with the driven pulley. The motor will have a tendency to twist slightly when it is moved. This will push the pulleys out of alignment and twist the V-Belt. Check and adjust motor position if twisting occurs.

5.Tighten the motor mounting bolts.

When cleaning (Section XI), you will need to take off and put on the V-Belt. This can be done without adjusting the position of either

pulley. UNPLUG THE MACHINE FIRST! To remove the V-Belt,pull it laterally from the back of the motor pulley and roll the pul- leys forward. The belt will pop off. Figure 4.

To replace the V-Belt,loop it over the motor pulley and as much of the driven pulley as possible. Roll the pulleys forward and the V-belt will slip into the grooves, just like a bicy- cle chain on its sprockets.
