PROCEDURE
SAFETY
FIRST

 LOTOTO procedure
to be followed
RELIEVE BELT
TENSION

 Loosen the drive and


move the pulley closer
together to facilitate
the removal of the old
belts and to insure
installation of the new
belts without damage
INSPECT DRIVE
ELEMENTS
 Inspect and replace
faulty or damaged
machine elements
such as Pulley, worn
bearing or bent shaft

 Pulley should be
cleaned
INSPECT
SHEAVES
 Pulley condition

 Never install new


belts without
inspection of
Pulley

 Look for worn groove


sidewalls, shiny

bottom, wobbling
and damaged Pulley
SELECT REPLACEMENT

CHECK SHEAVE
ALIGNMENT
 The straight-edge
should make
contact at two
points along the
outside perimeter
of both pulleys
 V-Belt pulley
alignment should
be within a
tolerance of 1/16”
per 12” of drive
center distance
CHECK BELT DEFLECTION /
TENSION
Belt deflection / tension
should be
1/ 64” per Inch
CHECK BELT DEFLECTION /
TENSION
