W1747 20" Planer

Pulley Alignment

Proper pulley alignment (see Figure 35) prevents pre- mature belt wear. The pulleys are properly aligned when they are parallel and in the same plane as each other. Use a straightedge on the edge of the pulleys to judge alignment.

Should you find that the pulleys are out of alignment, do these steps:

1.DISCONNECT THE PLANER FROM THE POWER SOURCE!

2.Remove the motor access panel, the V-belt cover, and loosen the belt tension (Page 24).

3.Using a 12mm wrench, loosen the motor mount fas- teners shown in Figure 36 just enough to allow the motor to be repositioned.

4.Slide the motor as required to align the pulleys.

5.Re-tighten the motor mount fasteners carefully to assure that the tightening process does not move the motor.

6.Re-tension the V-belts.

7.Replace the belt cover and motor access panel.
