1. Use the belt tensioning gauge, as follows:
The proper deflection for this unit is 0.2184” (7/32”) just short of 1/4” (Figure 29). For new belts the
tension should be 6.4 lb. For adjusting the tension, it should be 4.4 to 5.7 lb (Figure 30). This is measured
in the middle of the span with pressure applied to it perpendicularly to each belt (Figure 31).
