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


The weight of the hinged blower motor should tension the fan belt
just enough to turn the squirrel cage without slipping.
