Gathering Belts Tension Adjustment
The top and bottom gathering belts are tensioned by moving idler pulleys in slotted holes.
These belts should not be run very tight because that would place excess load on the belt
motor, resulting in a blown fuse on the Auxiliary board. Light finger pressure of about 1
pound applied at mid-span of the upper belt should yield a deflection of about 3/8 inch.
The lower belt should have a similar tension.
