After replacing the V-belt, operate the compressor for 2 to 3 hours, initial tension and friction
occur to the new V-belt. Due to these and other causes such as peel-off of coating from flywheel,
the tension load of V-belt decreases drastically to less than the minimum. If the V-belt is
continuously used in this condition, the service life of V-belt is shortened by slipping. In addition
to this, defects may occur such as excessive movement of V-belt, overturn and deviation caused
by wear of belt on one side. Make sure to re-tighten the V-belt soon after operation.
If the belt is replaced with a new one, operate the compressor with the new belt for 24—48 hours
and check the tension again.
