1. Loosen the blower motor fastening nuts from the motor mount.
2. Turn the adjusting bolts until the tension is off the drive belt.
3. Remove belt from sheave and loosen allen heat set screw “B”.
4. Adjust sheave pitch diameter for desired speed by opening or closing moveable portion in or out in 1/2-turn increments.
Do not open more than 5 full turns.
5. Sheave should be mounted with set screw “A” toward the motor. Be sure driven and drive sheaves are in alignment and
parallel.
6. Retighten set screw “B” and replace drive belt on sheaves.
7. Turn motor mount adjusting bolts until belt has approximately 1/2-inch of deflection midway between sheaves
(4 lbs. tension if measured with gauge, see Figure 11).
