Figure 3C. Alignment of V-Belt Driven Pumps

Tighten the belts in accordance with the belt manu-
facturer’s instructions. If the belts are too loose,
they will slip; if the belts are too tight, there will be
excessive power loss and possible bearing failure.
Select pulleys that will match the proper speed ra-
tio; overspeeding the pump may damage both
pump and power source.

Do not operate the pump without the
guard in place over the rotating parts

.

exposed rotating parts can catch cloth-
ing, fingers, or tools, causing severe in-
jury to personnel.
