b.
  Install 48T pulleys on the upper right (B 
pulley shaft) and the lower right pulley 
shaft.
c.
 
Install the 15T pulley on the B pulley 
shaft (upper right).
d.
  Install the 20T pulley on the C pulley 
shaft, then place the 120XL timing belt 
between this pulley and the 48T pulley 
on the lower right.
e.
  Place the 140XL timing belt on the 
upper left 16T and 48T pulley on the B 
pulley shaft.
f.
 
Install the 48T pulley on the pulley 
shaft, then place the 120XL timing belt 
between this pulley and the 15T on the 
B
 pulley shaft.
7.
 
Apply upward and forward pressure to the 
upper right and middle right pulleys (see 
Figure 58) as you re-tighten the shaft hex 
nuts you loosened in Step 3.
8.
  Continue to apply pressure on the pulleys as 
you re-tighten the thumb screw to tension 
the timing belts.
Important: 
Leave a slight amount of slack in 
the timing belts when securing the pulleys. 
Adjusting the tension too tightly will cause 
excessive wear and stretching. Adjusting the 
tension too loosely could cause the belt to 
slip during operation.
9. 
Close the end cover before re-connecting the 
lathe to power.
