Use a BX-55 as a replacement belt.
1. Remove the belt guard by removing the
three hex bolts 1/4" x 1/2" and the three
spring washers 1/4" and the three flat
washers 5/16’’ ;
2. Remove the hair pin and pin
3. Raise the tensioner to remove the tension
on the belt
4. Remove the old belt and install the new one;
5. Reapply the tension on the belt by lowering the
tensioner;
6. Make sure the flat idler tensioner pulley is properly
aligned on the pulley.
7. Secure the tensioner with the pin and hair pin;
8. Reinstall the belt guard and secure it with three
bolts and three spring washers;
9. Make sure the electromagnetic clutch pulley does
not rub on the belt guard.
If the belt becomes too stretched, it is possible to the
change the position of the spring on the tensioner.
Just move the carriage bolt , the sleeve
the flat washer and nut to position
B instead of position A.
Too much tension on the belt will
considerably reduce the belt’s life span.
Ideally, 7 lbs (30N) of force are needed to obtain a
7/32" (5mm) deflection .
