About
This procedure provides instruction to verify and make adjustments to the Generator belt
tension. The belt tension should be verified when any of the following conditions occur:
l
At regularly scheduled preventative maintenance
l
Every time the generator belt is replaced.
l
Every time the flywheel is reinstalled.
l
Every time the drive belt is tensioned or retensioned (flywheel is moved).
l
Whenever there are any belt related issues, such as unusual noises, low charging
voltages, etc. while operating the bike.
CAUTION
: Improper belt tension adjustment will cause premature wear and may
void the Precor Limited Warranty.
Drive Belt Caution
Making adjustments to the drive belt tension will also affect the generator belt tension.
Adjusting the drive belt tension requires the flywheel to be moved which in turn affects the
generator belt tension. So, always loosen the generator belt tension prior to making drive
belt adjustments and always verify the generator belt tension after each drive belt tension
adjustment.
CAUTION
: Always loosen the generator belt tension prior to making a drive belt
tension adjustment and always verify the generator belt tension after adjusting the
drive belt tension. Moving the flywheel position will change the generator belt ten-
sion which could damage the belt, pulley hardware and/or generator function.
