Drive Belt Deflection Adjustment

Adjusting the drive belt deflection is accomplished by turning the driven clutch offset screws inwards to increase deflection, or outwards to decrease deflection. Use the Belt Tension Adjuster Tool to loosen, hold, and tighten the jam nuts.

Belt Tension Adjuster Tool

PN: PS-51272

  1. Loosen the two 6 mm jam nuts I using the Belt Tension Adjuster tool 3. The adjuster tool is designed to allow access to the adjuster screw while holding the jam nut.

    NOTICE

    Both adjuster screws will need to be turned outwards (counter-clockwise) to decrease deflection. When making adjustments, only adjust one of the screws.

  2. To increase belt deflection, use a 3 mm Allen wrench to turn one of the adjuster screws 2 inwards (clockwise). To decrease belt deflection, turn the set screw outwards (counter-clockwise).

  3. Make adjustments until drive belt deflection is set to specification.

    1.13-1.25 in (2.85-3.2 cm)

  4. After achieving the desired belt deflection, tighten the jam nut to specification while holding the adjuster screw stationary.

  5. Turn the remaining adjuster screw inwards until it makes contact with the spacer washer. Turn screw inwards slightly, and then tighten jam nut to specification while holding the adjuster screw stationary.
