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 10 hours
of operation.
To increase belt tension do as follows:
Loosen upper jam nut. SEE FIGURE 6.
1.
2. Tighten the lower jam nut in 1/8" increments, making sure
not to over adjust the tension.
3. When proper adjustment is achieved, tighten upper jam
nut. Tension is properly adjusted when engaging the
drive safety control lever, the beehive spring on the cable
stretches about 1/4 inch or 5 mm longer. SEE FIGURE 6.
NOTE: This procedure can be repeated until conduit
adjustment bolts are fully adjusted. The beehive spring
hook can also be adjusted by inserting in the additional
linkage holes on the drive control lever. If no more
adjustment can be made, belt may need to be replaced.
