There may be a time when you need to take the
wheel head off of your Pacifica Wheel. Loosen
both the top and bottom Set Screw with the pro-
vided Allen Wrench by aligning the set screew
with the v notch and losen both screws as
shown. Then lift the wheel head off.
1.Turn you wheel upside down- be sure to protect your
wheel head from damage (allow it to be suspended and
move freely by placing lifts under the table top). Remove
the bottom cover as shown. After you acheive the correct
belt tension use a
square to restore
a 90 degree
angle between
wheel table and
the motor body.
2. Move the nuts behind
the mounting plate of your
motor toward the outside edge of
the wheel table top to create space
for the plate to move
.
3.
DO NOT OVER TENSION!! There should be one half to one inch of
deflection when the belt is firmly pushed! Tighten the nuts seen here at
both sides of the pully and the one at the other end of the motor. Move
nut/bolt assemblies equally to maintain a 90 degree angle between the
table top and the motor before resuming use.
CAUTION!!
OVER TENSIONING MAY CAUSE
THE MOTOR SHAFT TO BREAK.
Set Screws
V Notch
Your Wheel is shipped with a properly tensioned Poly-V-belt
as shown to left. Over time the belt will become less accurately tensioned.
Place a measuring tape under the belt. Firmly pull the belt. It should divert
about 1/2 to one inch. Less will stress and break your motor shaft-more will
result in slippage and squealing.

When replacing the wheel head apply a
gun grease or anti-seize on the shaft,
align set screws with the flat area on the
