Tensioning the Belts

Step Type:

Drag to rearrange

Use the included pair of plies to tension the belts.

Loosen these bolts enough to be able to pull the belt with the pliers but also hold the tension without letting the belts slip back.

Tension the belts as equally as possible.

Tension both belts until they are guitar string tight. Avoid over tensioning as this can put unnecessary strain on the motor shafts.

Trim any excess, leaving approx. an inch free for any future adjustments.
