NOTE: If center-to-center distance was not
properly set before mounting motor, adjust
base height as follows for proper belt tension:
a. Turn jackscrews until they contact motor
base cradle.
b. Block up motor under mounting angle
nearest pivot points to support weight of
motor. Place lever (pry bar or 2 x 4 for
example) under same area.
c. Loosen two support angle bolts, and
adjust jackscrews until two support angle
bolts are approximately centered in ad-
justing slots.
