To tension the belt, the company recommends using a special device, but it can be adjusted approximately by changing the length of the threaded part of the rod. In this case, the deflection of the belt should be about 10 mm with moderate pressure on the middle of the thumb belt. It is better not to overtighten the belt, this will lead to premature failure of the pump.
Tighten the adjusting nuts, then after finishing work, tighten the set and adjusting bolts as required.
If a new belt is being installed, check its tension after running a few hundred kilometers.
