The verification procedure

Fig. 2.74. Checking belt tension

Check the label position indicator automatic belt tensioner (Fig. 2.74).

If the position of the label is incorrect, the drive belt must be replaced.

NOTE

In normal cases, the verification of the deflection / belt tension is not required, since the belt tension is provided by the automatic tensioner.
