Belt Tension Adjustments
Adjustment procedure for Belt Tension.
It is important the belts are adjusted correct.
If the belt tension is too high there might be a risk of destroying the pump bearings.
If the belt tension is too low, the belts are slipping on the pulleys which will destroy the belts.
One way to adjust the belt tension is to use a ”Belt Tension Gauge”, as shown on fig. 2.
The Belt tension specification is:
Press on the belts (as shown on fig. 2.) with 7-10 kg. Pressure, and the belts should move approx. 20 mm.

Adjust the belts by loosing the 4 bolts holding the
pump to the frame.
Move the pump by turning the nut on the
adjustment bolt.
IMPORTANT:
Be sure the pump and engine pulleys are alligned
when finished adjustment.
