9-7 BELT TENSION ADJUSTING
During the first period of use of the machine check the set of the belts in the pully race and the unavoidable
reduction of belt tensioning.
After the first days of use, stretch the belts without exaggerating otherwise the bearings of the motor and
cutterblock could be damaged.
At least 3 times a year check the belts to reset the right tension.
Before adjusting the tension, turn the main switch to zero and indicate this on a card.
To reach the belts remove side cover (F fig.9.6a).
To stretch the belts loosen screw ((Z fig.9.7) and move the motor downwards, then screw down screw (Z).
If only one belt is worn or too long, replace all belts.
Never pair belts of different makes together.
Never use a worn belt and a new belt together as the new one would be damaged in a very short time.
The belt tension is right if by exerting a force of about 3 kg on the middle of the belt it gives by 10 mm
