Installation and safety

Installation guidance

  2. Remove belt residue and clean the motor pulley and belt path without leaving oil.
  3. Install the belt in the specified path without twists, then rotate the mechanism by hand before powering it.

Follow the current equipment service instructions when they differ from this general guidance.
