24. To test the Drive Belt tension:
• Push the Drive Belt downward at the midpoint (M) between
the pulleys and measure the distance. The Drive Belt should
have only 0.25” (0.64 cm) of give.
Or:
• Hold the edges of the Drive Belt at the midpoint (M) and twist
it. The Drive Belt should turn only 90 degrees (1/4 turn, to
vertical).
If the tension is correct, go to Step 26.
If the tension is too loose or too tight, adjust the nuts and bolt on
the Tensioner Assembly (Idler Assembly).
25. To adjust the Tensioner Nuts on the Tensioner Bracket, use
a 10mm open end wrench to hold the Tensioner Bolt steady and
turn the nuts with a second 10mm open end wrench.
26. When the tension is correct, tighten the nuts against the
Tensioner Bracket to hold the bolt and the Tensioner Assembly in
position.
Note: This step may require two people.
27. Carefully turn the Right Crank Arm and check the movement
of the Drive Belt. The Crank Arms and Flywheel should move as
one.
!
Be sure to keep ngers clear of all pinch hazards
when you turn the Right Crank Arm.
Adjust the belt tension again if necessary.
