Figure 6: Check drive belt tension
•
To check belt tension, remove the cover by removing the fixing screws and exert a pressure of approximately
10kg on the belt. Check that the belt does not flex by more than 1 cm with respect to its original position.
•
Should it flex more than this:
o
Loosen the engine fixing screws and the cooling fan cover fixing screw
o
If the belt is worn or close to its scheduled time for replacement, change it with a new one
o
Remove the belt and withdraw the engine by about 5 mm
o
Fix the screw and tighten the cooling fan cover fixing screw
o
Re-fit the belt, re-check belt tension and re-fit the cover
A mixture of different compressor oil cannot be used.
•
The drive belt must be replaced annually or every 1000 working hours of the compressor.
•
If the tension of the new belt still fails to comply with the necessary requirement, contact Nautilus customer
service.
