2.19 UHP Pump & Blower Drive Belts
The drive belts that connect the 40K clutch to the
high pressure pump and vacuum blower are spe-
cial carbon ber industrial belts that are designed
for high horsepower applications.
The ribbed drive belts are matched to grooved
pulleys and have very little stretch. Therefore,
they typically don’t require adjustment often and
proper belt tension is extremely important when
adjustment is necessary. Carbon ber belts are
strong enough to cause severe damage to bear-
ings, shafts and other components if they are set
too tight. Additionally, if a belt is too loose, it can
ride on top of the grooves and thus become too
tight.
The drive belts for the high pressure pump and
vacuum blower are dierent. Consequently each
belt has a dierent tension specication. Addition-
ally, new belts have a dierent tension specica-
tion than used belts (drive belts with 20 hours or
more). Instructions for adjusting the primary drive
belts and tension specications are included in the
Maintenance section of this manual.
CARBON FIBER DRIVE BELTS CAN CAUSE SEVERE DAMAGE
TO PULLEYS, SHAFTS AND BEARINGS IF THEY ARE
ADJUSTED TOO TIGHT OR MISALIGNED. THIS CAN CAUSE
SEVERE DAMAGE TO DRIVE SYSTEM COMPONENTS AND
INJURY TO PERSONNEL IF DAMAGED COMPONENTS ARE
THROWN FROM THE MACHINE. ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE
BELTS ARE PROPERLY ALIGNED AND SET TO THE BELT
MANUFACTURER’S SPECIFICATIONS WHEN THEY REQUIRE
ADJUSTMENT. NEVER OVERTIGHTEN THE BELTS.
Make sure you refer to the belt tension specica-
tions in the Maintenance section of this manual or
the belt manufactures information manual when
adjusting the belt tension and never overtighten
them.
