5. Toadjustorreplacethebelts,loosenthe1/2”“pinch”bolts,oneoneitherside
atthefrontofthemotorbaseplate,andthetwo5/8-inchboltsthatrunverticalatthe
frontotthemotorplate.Thisallowsthemotortoberaisedorlowered,looseningthe
beltsforreplacementortensioning.Thenraisethemotorandtightenthebolts
afterbeltreplacementortoadjusttension.Itisimportantthatthetensionisjust
enoughtodrivewithoutslipping.Tootightshortensbearinglife,toolooseshortens
beltlife(SpindleshaftBelts-(7)3VX400,SingleSpeed&3-Speed.)
