1. The values given in the "BELT DEFLECTION FORCE" table are calculated for nominal conditions and are provided for reference only. The
required tension may vary due to application, manufacturing variances, component wear, etc. Drive belts must be kept tight enough to
prevent slipping. If belts slip or squeak, they need to be tightened.

Service Check List
Check V-belts for proper alignment and tightness: The V-belts must be tight enough to transmit the necessary power to the compressor.
Adjust the V-belts as follows:
a. Remove back door to access compressor belt drive. To check and replace belts, remove outside belt guard.
b. Loosen four motor sub-base mounting bolts. Apply pressure with finger to one belt at midpoint span. Tension is correct if top of
belt aligns with bottom of adjacent belt. Make further adjustments if necessary.
c. Use belt adjusting bolts to adjust belt tension. See "Setting Belt Tension" section.
d. Check the alignment of pulleys. Adjust if necessary.
e. Tighten mounting hardware to secure motor on base.
f. Re-install outside belt guard and back door.
