Measure Span Length and Deflection

Measure the span length of the drive (in inches)

Calculate the required deflection (in inches) by multiplying the span length by 0.016

Measure and Adjust Belt Tension

Lay a straightedge across the top outer surface of the drive belt from pulley to sheave

Apply pressure with a belt tension gauge and record the deflection force reading

Is the deflection force reading within the minimum and maximum values?

Adjust the belt(s) if the deflection force reading is not within the specified range

For new belts, tension to the maximum value plus 33%
