2. Inspect belt tension by pushing the belt downward with
approx. 22lbf (98N) (10kgf) force midway between
pulleys. If the deflection is 0.39 to 0.47 Inch [10 to 12mm],
the tension is correct. If the tension out of the specified
value, adjust belt tension.
1. Ensure that V-Belt is free from defects such as wear, cuts
