V-BELT TENSION ADJUSTMENTS FOR 30" AND 36" B-TYPE MACHINES AND 42" Q-TYPE MACHINES

4.If the reading on the tension tester is less than the range shown in the table, the belt is too loose and must be tightened. If the reading is greater than the range shown in the table, the belt is too tight and must be loos- ened. Adjust the belt until the reading falls within the acceptable range in the table.

A belt tension testing device (Milnor® part number 30T001) and a straight edge are required when using these instructions.

Tension Settings

Set the o-rings on the tension testing device (see FIGURE 1) as follows:

1.Move the upper o-ring to the topmost position, resting against the bottom edge of the cap.

2.Find the proper belt deflection setting (by machine model and belt function) in the appropriate table below.

3.Move the lower o-ring on the tension tester to this deflection setting on the inches scale.

NOTE 1: The tension testing device is marked on the one side in inches and pounds and on the other side in cen- timeters and kilograms. All values in the tables are marked.

NOTE 2: The instruction sheet provided with the tension testing device should not be used. Use only the instruc- tions provided herein.

Belt Tension Measurements

1.Place a straight edge along the top edge of the belt to be tested so that it spans both pulleys. Place the tension tester in the center of the belt and press and down on the cap until the lower o-ring is in line with the straight edge, as shown.

2.Read the setting of the upper o-ring on the LBS scale of the tension tester.

3.Compare this value with the acceptable range in the appropriate table. If the belt is brand new (has never been run), use the range in the In- itial Tension column. If the belt is not brand new, locate the accept- able range in the Final Tension column.
