2.16 UHP Pump & Blower Drive Belts
The drive belts that connect the OMSI Drive to the
high pressure pump and vacuum blower are special
carbon fiber industrial belts that are designed for
high horsepower applications. The ribbed drive belts
are matched to grooved pulleys and have very little
stretch. Therefore, they typically don’t require ad-
justment often and proper belt tension is extremely
important when adjustment is required. The belts
are strong enough to cause severe damage to bear-
ings, shafts and other components if they are set too
tight. Additionally, if a belt is too loose, it can ride
on top of the grooves and thus become too tight.
The drive belts for the high pressure pump and
vacuum blower are different and, therefore, have
different tension specifications. Additionally, new
belts have a different tension specification than
used belts (drive belts with 20 hours or more). In-
structions for adjusting the primary drive belts and
UHP Pump & Blower Drive Belt Location
tension specifications are included in the General
Maintenance section of this manual.
WARNING
THE DRIVE BELTS CAN CAUSE SEVERE DAMAGE TO
PULLEYS, SHAFTS AND BEARINGS IF THEY ARE ADJUSTED
TOO TIGHT OR MISALIGNED. THIS CAN CAUSE SEVERE
DAMAGE TO DRIVE SYSTEM COMPONENTS AND INJURY

Make sure you refer to the belt tension specifications
in the Maintenance section of this manual or the belt
manufactures information manual when adjusting
the belt tension and never overtighten them.
