Hi I just wondered if an EU 220 volt 50 HZ belt would go on my UK 240 volt CL please.

I think it may ?

Many Thanks Mark.

I'm not an expert on belts but I'm virtually certain that the answer is yes, because there would be no difference to the belts. E.g. I have a dual voltage Eiki designed to cope with the much greater US/UK voltage difference, and there's certainly no expectation that you have to change the belts if you change the voltage.

Thanks Adrian, fingers crossed then.

I thought it would be OK.

Best Mark.

The instruction manual for an Elmo 16-CL makes no comment about any different belts being available.
Speed change or change of cycles (50Hz or 60Hz) is achieved by moving the existing belt over to a change of pulleys. There is diagram for this alongside the right of the belt.
Of course, in the multi voltage models, the input voltage should be set to 240 volts, and not 220 volts.

As long as they're both 50Hz, they will be definitely compatible. [Cool]

Thank you people I just ordered one and got 1.032 Euros to the pound, painful !!! ( just over £20 delivered ).

Hope the belt is good though.

I did buy a belt set from another provider in Europe a while ago but sadly the motor belts were just an O ring.

Best Mark.

If it's a genuine belt for an Elmo 16-CL there should be no reason for it not to fit.
Let's hope it gives years of service. [Smile]
