a) Gear belt tension gauge position: Tension gauge finger must land on top peak of gear belt tooth, not
in valley between.
b) Tension gauge should be in the middle 1/3 of the free span of belt, not too near to either fixed point.
c) Tension gauge must be pressed up against edge of belt.
d) Tension gauge has some internal friction and can show incorrect results. To overcome this- once
the gauge is in place on the belt, tap on the back of the gauge with a small hand tool (screwdriver,
wrench, etc.) 5-8 times before reading.
3 Read tension on the dial face, across from the indicator on the gauge body.
4 If the belt tension is within manufacture's specifications, seat the belt. Run the machine for approximately
1-2 minutes and then re-check the tension. This will allow the belt to seat itself in the grooves of the
pulley, and ensure tension is set correctly.
If the tension is not set to the manufactures specifications, remove the tension gauge and adjust the belt
tension. Repeat steps 1 through 4 until specifications are met.
