On delivery, the drive belts are new and correctly tensioned. After
the first 50 operating hours check and adjust the tension. 80% of
the total elongation of belts is generally produced during the first
15 hours of operation.
Before adjusting the tension, make sure that the pulleys are
correctly aligned.
To tension, adjust the play of screw Mx.
The recommended deflection is 16 mm per metre from centre to
centre.
Check that according to the diagram below (Figure 34), the
following ratio remains the same.
A (m)
= 16
P (mm)
The belts should always be replaced when :
- the disk is set to maximum,
- the belt rubber is worn or the wire is visible.
Replacement belts must have the same rated size as the ones they are
replacing.
If a transmission system has several belts, they must all be from the
same manufacturing batch (compare serial numbers).
NOTE : An under-tensioned belt will slip, heat and wear prematurely. On
the other hand, if a belt is over-tensioned, the pressure on the bearings
will cause them to over-heat and wear prematurely. Incorrect alignment
will also cause the belts to wear prematurely.
