Torque Team ® V-Belt
INSTALLATION GUIDE
HOW TO INSTALL TORQUE TEAM BELTS
Never force Torque Team ® belts into a sheave. Instead, decrease
the center distance between the sheaves, allowing the belt to slip
easily into the sheave grooves.
To tension a newly installed Torque Team® belt, increase the
center distance between the sheaves. Tables 7 and 8 detail center
distance allowances for installation and tensioning of Classical
and HY-T® Wedge Torque Team® belts. For example, a 5/5V1250
Torque Team® belt requires decreasing the center distance 2.1
inches to install the belt and increasing the center distance 1.8
inches to maintain suffcient tension.
