8. ADJUSTMENTS
8.1. TRADE BELT TENSIONING
Make a different mode if the tape tension is new or already existing:
Figure 8.1-1
NEW belt tension:
1. After replacing the tread belt, place a tape
measure in the center of the tread belt and
use a pen (or white corrector) to make two
reference marks spaced exactly 1m apart.
Figure 8.1-2
2. Lock down by turns the screws a until the
distance between the reference marks
increases by 5 mm. Take care that the roller
is always approximately parallel with the one
on the front, to counteract the tension exerted
by the belt on the roller bearings.
After completing this procedure, any
further adjustments should be
performed using only the left-hand
tension screw.
ATTENTION: After completing this
procedure, check the centering of the
tread belt as instructed in paragraph:
8.2. “Centering the tread belt”.
