Consult Figure A (or the chart inside the Pulley Cover) and install the Belts on the Pulleys in the positions that correspond to the required spindle/drill speed. 5. When the Belts have been correctly positioned, tighten them by turning the Belt Tension Lever counterclockwise. The tension is correct when the belts deflect by approximately 1/2″ at their centers of run when using reasonable thumb pressure. Lock this position in with the two Belt Tension Lock Knobs. |
