Installation Instructions - Replacement Belt for Craftsman Compressors

Craftsman Compressor Drive Belt-pn: 09 919 At2210, has been designated a substitute part
number-09 919 N011005.

Proper belt tension is critical to ensure maxium belt life. A belt tension guage, called the Krikit I,

which retails for $10-15, is available at local auto parts stores and some large chains.. This guage
will work for belts up to 7/8" wide and has a 30-150 pound range.. Please purchase this item locally.

Follow the steps below to tension the belt:

a) Using a 3/8" wrench, loosen screw on idler assembly.. This will release tension from the old

belto

b) Remove connecting rod bolt and move connecting rod from bearing support while leaving

piston portion in cylinder,,

c) Remove old belt and replace with new bell If using A12210 belt, place lettering on the belt

against the flywheel (large diameter pulley).. If using N011005 belt, place lettering away

from flywheel (belt teeth against flywheel)
d) Replace connecting rod and botto Tighten bolt to 100-120 FT-LBS.
e) Tighten the idler screw to about 40 IN-LBS. There should be enough friction to hold the idler

in place while tensioning.

f) Rotate the idler assembly clockwise, using a 5/8" wrench, rotate flywheel a few times to

equalize the tension. The tension gauge should read between 60-80 LBS when checked on

the longest belt span. To lock the idler assembly in place, tighten screw to 84-120 IN-LBS.

Re-check tension, and adjust as needed°
