Maintenance

sion is the lowest tension at which the belt will not slip under peak load conditions. Check tension frequently during the first 24-48 hours of run-in operation. Overtensioning shortens belt and bearing life. Keep belts free from foreign material which may cause slipping. Never apply belt dress- ing as this will damage the belt and cause early failure. A Dodge® V-Belt Tension Tester is an alternate method for tensioning V-belts. Check with you local belt supplier.

STRAIGHT EDGE

Sheave Alignment

The motor sheave is to be positioned as close as possible to the motor in order to minimize stress on the motor bushings.

The motor and fan sheaves may have grooves that are not used. The bottom surface of the motor and fan sheaves must be aligned within 18" of each other and level within 12° (18" in 12) in order to not adversely affect belt and sheave life.

Alignment can be achieved by placing a straight edge across the sheaves making sure that it is level and measuring down to the bot- tom surface of both sheaves at four points.

The belt is to be located in the grooves closest to the motor center- line.
