Hi Folks,

Is there a 'rule of thumb" that a person can go by adjusting the
tightness of the fan belt. I'm afraid of overtightening and taking out fan
bearings....any tips?...Thanks....Jim


Hi,
Bronze sleeve bearing needs very loose belt tension, just not enought to
slip.
Otherwise it'll cause premature wear of the the sleeve.
