Checking Drive Belt Tension (Test 5)

CC1019129


A-Counterknife support


B-Distance


C-Oblong hole


D-Idler pulley

IMPORTANT: Prior to carry out this test, make sure that test 1 to 4 results are "OK". Proceed to the relevant tests described in this Section.

IMPORTANT: After each drive belt replacement, it is essential to check that the new belt has a length which allows a good net tying drive timing.

Proceed as follows:

Fully extend actuator.

Adjust idler pulley (D) in the oblong hole (C) so that distance (B) between counterknife support (A) and the cut in side wall is to 10 mm (0.4 in.).

Run the belt drive for 15 seconds at full speed.

Fully extend and retract actuator several times.

Completely extend actuator.

Readjust distance (B) to 5±3 mm (0.2±0.12 in.).

IMPORTANT: With actuator in extended position, operator should not be able to turn the net feed rolls.

Proceed to test 6.
