DRIVE BELT ADJUSTMENT
Double-groove pulleys connect the motor to the gearbox,
Figure 4-17. Belt tension will not usually require attention. If
adjustment is necessary, loosen the three hex-head bolts se-
curing the motor frame to the headstock, Figure 4-17. Do not
loosen the bolts attaching the motor to its frame.
