c. For flat-pulley drive systems, verify allowable
distance of belt from edge of pulley as shown 
in Table 6 below: 
d. For variable-speed models only, verify that
V-belts are properly tensioned by applying a 
set force to the belt and measuring the 
deflection to determine the belt tension. Refer 
to Table 7 for the acceptable belt tension 
ranges. Belt tension measurements should be 
taken as close to the center of the belt span as 
possible. Refer to Figure 11.

NOTE: Hoses and other natural rubber parts 
deteriorate after extended use. Hoses may develop 
cracks, blisters or material wear from the 
temperature and constant high pressure they are 
subjected to. 
2. Check all hoses for any visible signs of
deterioration. Any hose showing signs of 
deterioration listed above should be replaced 
immediately.
NOTE: All hoses should be replaced every five 
years.
