BELT TENSION ADJUSTMENT

Proper belt tension is critical to good performance. After 1/2 hour of operation, all cables may have to be adjusted due to initial stretch. Thereafter, check tension after every 2 hours of operation.

To increase belt tension:

1.Loosen upper jam nut. Turn nut up cable in 1/8" increments.

2.Tighten lower jam nut.

3.Check adjustment.

This procedure can be repeated until conduit adjustment bolts have no more adjustment left. If no more adjustment can be made, belt may have to be replaced.
