6. Maintenance
6.1- Belt
(pulley version only)
The belt (A) is a power transmission element used
to transmit force and motion to the rotor.
With the machine switched off, the belt must be
checked every 50 working hours or weekly.
ATTENTION!
Turn off the tractor and remove
the ignition key before starting the
following procedure.
6.1.1- How to stretch the belt
Loosen the 4 bolts that secure the housing (C);
1.
Tighten the nut (D) until the belt is streched;
2.
Retighten the 4 housing bolts (C).
3.
NOTE!
Inspect new belts constantly for the
first 20 working hours and adjust
tensioning as necessary following the
instructions above. Use this procedure
each time you attach new belts to the
machine.
Correct tensioning can extend belt life
and reduce downtime.
The best tensioning is that point
where the transmission is at the lowest
tension without the belt being skid. An
under-tensioned transmission causes
wear and friction overheating.
W h e n o v e r t e n s i o n e d , i t m a y
compromise shafts, housings and
bearings due to premature fatigue.
