I. V-BELTS (REFER TO THE ILLUSTRATIONS IN SECTION F “PULLEYS”)
V-belts should have proper tension. If too loose, they will slip, excessive wear on the bearings 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 belt.
NOTE: Belts must always be replaced in pairs (matched sets).

proper position.
