Installing the Drive Belts
1. Undo the Belt Tension Locking Knobs (18A)
on both sides of the head. Turn the Belt
Tension Lever (19A) clockwise to bring the
Motor Pulley (11A) close to the Spindle Pulley
allowing the belts to be slipped on with ease.
2. Lubricate the Idler Pivot Shaft (20) and
Idler Pulley (19), with light grease, and install in its
mounting between the motor and spindle pulleys.
3. Consult the chart inside the pulley cover
(or the Drill Speed chart in this manual), and
install the belts in the positions corresponding
to spindle/drill speed required.
4. Turn the Belt Tension Lever (19A)
counterclockwise so that tension is applied
to the belts (see Head Assembly diagram).
Tension is correct when the belts deflect by
approximately 1/2″ at their centers of run when
using reasonable thumb pressure. Lock the
motor in this position with the locking knob.
