K. V-BELTS (REFER TO ILLUSTRATIONS IN SECTIONS I and K)
V-belts should have proper tension. If too loose, they will slip, if too tight excessive wear on the bearing will
result. If the pulleys are not properly aligned, excessive belt wear will result. Proper belt tension will allow 1/2”
displacement under normal thumb pressure at mid span of the belt.
