Rotary Belt Tensioner
The Rotary Belt Tensioner system uses a 3/4”-headed bolt and either a 15/16” or 1” nut to set belt
tension. Adjust Tension Nut to apply tension to the belt. Ridges on the Tensioner Arm gauge the
amount of tension applied.
1. Loosen the Tensioner Lock Bolt Head.
2. Adjust the Tensioner Nut for proper belt tension. (This will be achieved at
approximately 1-1/2 ridges on the gauge.)
