Checking The V-Belt Tension; Tensioning / Change Of V-Belt; Checking The Clutch - Zipper Maschinen ZI-RPE330G Betriebsanleitung

Loose or worn V-belts reduce power transmission efficiency, result in poor compaction performance
and shorten the service life of the belt itself. Therefore, always check the V-belt tension at the
specified intervals.

17.5.1 Checking the V-Belt tension

17.5.2 Tensioning / change of V-Belt

17.5.3 Checking the clutch

Check the clutch at the same time as the V-belt. With the belt removed, visually check the
outside for seizure and the "V" groove for wear and damage. Clean the V-groove as
required. If the clutch shoe is worn, the power transmission becomes insufficient.

Loosen the four screws (S) of the V-belt
cover (1) and remove the V-belt cover. Use
thumb pressure to check the flexibility of the
V-belt.
If this is within approx. 10-15mm no action
is necessary. If the flexibility is higher, the
V-belt must be retightened (V-belt
tensioning) or replaced.
Tensioning
- Remove the V-belt cover (1).
- Loosen the screw of the tension pulley (2)
- Push the tensioner pulley in the direction
(+) to increase the belt tension.
- retighten tension pulley screw. - Check V-
belt tension
- If suitable, refit the V-belt cover (1) and fix
it with the screws (S). Otherwise readjust
the belt tension.
Change
- Remove the V-belt cover (1).
- Loosen the screw of the tension pulley (2)
- Push the tensioner pulley in the opposite
direction (+) to decrease the belt tension
- pull the old belt from the pulley and replace
it with a new one.
- Tensioning the belt
- Retighten the pulley screw
- Check V-belt tension
- If suitable, refit the V-belt cover (1) and fix
it with the screws (S). Otherwise readjust
the belt tension.
