Installing the Belts

2. First screw the lower motor mount adjustment nut upward, raising the motor mount plate and

putting tension on the belts.

3. Once the desired tension is reached, tighten the upper motor mount adjustment nut down onto the

motor mount plate locking it into place.

Installing the Belt Guard

1. With the belts properly tensioned, remove the bottom belt guard cover and slip belt guard down

over the motor shaft.

2. Bolt the belt guard to the belt guard mounting brackets, the brackets should still be loose at

this time.

3. Align the motor shaft and the flight drive shaft in the belt guard’s slot, making sure that the belt

guard DOES NOT contact either pulley, and tighten down the belt guard mounting brackets to the
bearing plate.

4. Once the brackets are tightened, slide the bottom cover back into place and secure with

supplied bolt.
