Special care needs to be taken with your Poly Chain® belt. Alignment, tension, and cleanliness

of this belt are very important. The Poly Chain® belt needs to be checked for tension every 70 to

100 hours of use. The Poly Chain® belt must be running true. If you adjust one bearing more

than the other, the belt will run on an angle, which will cause belt failure. A belt broken straight

across is the result of a shock load. In a shock load failure, the fibers are broken and over a

period of time the belt will break down from the shock load and snap in half. A broken belt with

lost teeth indicates that the belt was loose. When replacing the Poly Chain® belt, do not force

the belt on over the sprockets; this can break the fibers.

• Remove the Poly Chain® belt guard

cover. Remove all 14 bolts and washers

in the belt guard cover and place them to

the side for replacement. The belt guard

cover is in two pieces for easier handling

and removal.

• Loosen all the bolts and nuts in the belt

guard. The nuts are easily accessible on

the back of the guard.
