Belt
Check the belt condition and tension quarterly. Inspect the
belt for signs of cracking, fraying or glazing along the
inside surfaces. Check belt tension by using a springforce
tool, such as Browning’s “Belt Tension Checker” (p/n
1302546 or equivalent tool); tension should be 6lbs at a
5/8in. (1.6 cm) deflection when measured at the center
line of the belt span. This point is at the center of the belt
when measuring the distance between the motor shaft and
the blower shaft. See Fig. 5.
NOTE: Without the springtension tool, place a straight
edge across the belt surface at the pulleys, then push down
on the belt at midspan using one finger until a 1/2in.
(1.3 cm) deflection is reached.
