PLACING THE BELT BACK ON THE MOTOR SHEAVE:
REQUIRED ITEMS:
3 foot Section of 1-1/2” Electrical Tubing
Replacement Belt
To stretch the belt back onto the sheave involves using a two foot length of 1-1/2” electrical tubing (Fig. 1).
Preparing the end of the tubing as shown makes it easier to use. Position the belt around the tumbler and
directly above the motor sheave . Insert the tubing through the belt and onto the motor sheave (Fig. 2).
While pushing the electrical tubing toward the motor, pull the end toward the bottom right corner (Fig. 3).
From this position, rotate the tubing clockwise. The belt will move to a position over the motor sheave. Hold
the belt against the motor (Fig. 3). Rotate the tubing one more revolution while pulling the tubing out. The belt
should drop onto the motor sheave. Rotate the tumbler a few turns while manually preventing the belt from
falling off the sheave. This should center the belt on the tumbler and prevent the belt from being thrown off
later. Replace all dryer panels.
