BELT TENSIONER ON P48E

BELT TENSIONER

The belt tensioner controls the tension on the belt from the engine to the pump. The proper tension of the idler
should be in the second notch on the side of the tensioner. Over tightening the belt will shorten the life of the belt
and the machine may not perform to the best of its ability. To adjust belt tensioner, loosen the bolt holding the
tensioner. Bring idler pulley tight to the belt and turn tensioner into belt to the second notch. Tighten bolt on
tensioner.
