Figure 5. V-Belt Tension Gauge.
8. Carefully remove tension gauge (Figure 4, Item 1) from V-belt (Figure 4, Item 2) so that black indicator arm
(Figure 5, Item 3) is not moved.
9. Turn tension gauge (Figure 5, Item 1) sideways and mark position (Figure 5, Item 4) where black indicator arm
(Figure 5, Item 3) intersects scale (Figure 5, Item 5).
NOTE
The V-belt tension is determined by reading the scale at the exact location where the
black indicator arm intersects the scale on top of the gauge.
10. Turn tension gauge (Figure 5, Item 1) so that scale (Figure 5, Item 5) can be read and determine V-belt tension.
11. Adjust V-belt tension as needed to obtain required tension per this WP.
12. Recheck V-belt tension per steps 6-10 of this task.
13. Install top-middle panel (WP 0013, Install).
14. Place emergency stop switch (Figure 2, Item 1) in PUSH TO STOP position.
