Hydraulic Pump Drive Belt
Make sure pump belt is properly tensioned to assure
proper operation of the machine and prevent unneces-
sary wear. On new belts, check tension after 8 hours op-
eration.
A new hydraulic pump belt should tensioned so it de-
flects 0.120 inch with a 15 to 17 pound load applied mid-
way in span of belt. A used belt should tensioned so that
it deflects 0.120 inch with a 11 to 13 pound load applied
midway in span of belt.
Note: Tighten belt to eliminate slippage (squealing
under load) but do not overtighten.
