WARNING!

Before performing any maintenance function, switch main disconnect switch to "off" position to assure no power is entering unit. "Lock Out" or "Tag Out" all sources of power. Be sure all air pressure in unit is relieved. Failure to do this may result in injury or equipment damage.

Loosen mounting hardware, which secures motor to base. Slide motor within slots of baseplate to desired position. Apply pressure with finger to one belt at midpoint span. Tension is correct if top of belt aligns with bottom of adjacent belt. Make further adjustments if necessary. Check the alignment of pulleys. Adjust if necessary. Tighten mounting hardware to secure motor on base. Re-install guard and secure bolts.

WARNING!

Do not exceed 15 PSIG nozzle pressure when cleaning element parts with compressed air. Do not direct compressed air against human skin. Serious injury could result. Never wash elements in fuel oil, gasoline or flammable solvent.
