1. The belt stop located above the drive pulley is mounted
on the top mounting screw of the bevel gear case with
a special cap screw which replaces the original. This
belt stop should beadjusted to 1/4” clearance as shown
in Figure 8.
2. The belt stop located below the drive pulley is mounted
with a cap screw, flat washer, lock washer and hex nut
to the side mounting plate of the bevel gear case.
3. While holding the cap screw with a wrench so it will
not turn, loosen the nut located on the other side of the
mounting plate {see Figure 12) enough so the belt stop
can be moved. Adjust the belt stop so there is l/l6”
to 1/8” clearance between it and the revitalizer drive
belt.
4. To prevent the belt stops from moving, use a wrench
to hold the cap screw from turning while tightening the
nut inside the frame securely.
(See figure 7) The belt guard mounted over the revitalizer
drive belt should be adjusted so there is at least 1/8” clear­
ance between the guard and the belt when the revitalizer
clutch is engaged to assure the backside of the belt does not
rub against the guard. If it is necessary to adjust the guard,
loosen the two wingnuts and reposition the guard correctly.
Drive Chain Adjustment
If inspection reveals that there is slack in the drive chain or it
must be replaced, use the following procedure to tighten the
chain:
1. (See figure 9) With the chain cover removed so the chain
is visible, loosen, but do not remove the two bolts holding
each end of the bearing housing.
2. Pull upward on the bearing housing until, all slack is re­
moved from the chain. Before tightening the bolts at each
end of the bearing housing, insure that the bearing housing is
parallel to the revitalizer housing. This may be easily and ac­
curately done by measuring the distance from the bearing,
housing to the revitalizer housing at each end of the bearing
housing. When the two distances are equal, the bearing hous­
ing is parallel to the revitalizer housing. (See figure 9).
After insuring all slack has been removed from the chain and
the bearing housing is parallel to the revitalizer housing,
tighten the two adjustment bolts at each end of the bearing
housing securely.
Put a liberal coating of automotive grease on the chain and
replace the chain cover.
