8.5. TENSIONING THE TREAD-BELT MOTOR DRIVE BELT
Figure 8.5-1
1. Carry out the procedure described in
paragraph 7.7. “Disassembling the motor
guard”.
2. Use a belt tension gauge.
3. Back off the dowel a using a 5-mm hex T
wrench.
4. Turn the dowel underneath the one
previously removed, until the gauge
measures a tension of 35 Kg.
If a belt tension gauge is not available,
the belt tension is correct when:
• it yields by 0.5 – 1 cm when pressed
vertically with the hand.
• it does not slip when the tread-belt is
blocked at 1.0 Km/h.
5. After completing the procedure, reassemble
the dowel a removed previously.
