Installation & Settings

Visually inspect the pulley alignment. Pulley misalignment must not exceed 0.5mmper cm [1/16-inch per foot] of distance between the pulley centers. Inspect, repair, or replace the fan hub or the fan hub support bracket if pulley misalignment exceeds 0.5 mm per cm [1/16-inch per foot].

Install new belts on the pulley. When a drive pulley uses two or more belts, replace the belts as a complete set.
NOTE: To prevent damage, do not roll a belt over the pulley or pry it on with a tool.

Turn the adjusting screw to increase the belt tension.

NOTE: Do not tighten the capscrews to full torque value.
Measure the belt tension.

Refer to the Belt Tension Chart shown to select the correct gauge and tension values for the belt width.
A belt is considered used if it has been in operation for at least 10 minutes.
