GENERAL
The pulley distance we will refer to in this section, is the space separating the drive and driven pulley outside diameters (Z measurement)This basic distance is provided as an assembly guide and indicates the dimensions between which satisfactory belt deflection will be obtainedBoth pulley distance adjustment and pulley alignment must be carried out to ensure the highest efficiency of the transmission systemFurthermore, optimum drive belt operation and minimal wear will be obtained only with proper pulley alignment
GENERAL PROCEDURE
Remove guard and drive beltBy turning and pushing the sliding half, open the driven pulleyInsert straight bar 9.5 mm (.375 in) square, 48 cm (19 in) long or the proper alignment template into the opened driven pulley
