The following tools are recommended for proper belt and sprocket installation. � A straight edge � A tape measure � Socket and open-end wrenches � A file and sandpaper � A torque wrench � A clean cloth � A belt tension gauge � Deflection force values for tensioning the belt 3. Make sure the components are ready for installation. Clean all shafts, removing any nicks or burrs. Clean all mating surfaces of the sprocket, bushing, and shaft. No lubrication or anti-sieze solution should be used on any of these sur- faces, including threaded holes. Use of lubrication can cre- ate higher torque, which will cause premature failure. 4. Make sure the shafts are true and parallel by accurately measuring the distance between the shafts at three points along the shaft. The distance between the shafts should be the same at all three points as shown. Also make sure the shafts are rigidly mounted. Shafts should not deflect when the belt is tensioned. GENERAL 79
