Simple installation and ease of servicing were two of the key features designed into the KARATA'S Outboard Bearing Support System. Installation is literally as simple as removing the front pulley’s guide plate and replacing it with the bearing carrier. Once both bearing carriers are installed, the center support plate slips in place completing the installation. For future servicing, the outboard bearing support system can be removed in whole or part in a manner of minutes. As with all KARATA'S belt drives, every component of the outboard bearing support system is available individually for servicing and rebuild.
