Safety & Operating Instructions

Figure 45b: WC575E Model

Place a Straightedge along the Belt (over the Clutch and Sheave) and push

down firmly on the Belt to measure the

deflection from the Straightedge to the Belt with a tape measure (Figure 46).

The measurement should be approximately 3/8" with approximately 10

pounds of force applied to it.

If the measurement is not correct, loosen the Engine Bolts and tighten or loosen the Adjusting Nut as needed (Figure

42).

Repeat steps 5 through 7 until the proper Belt tension is achieved.

When the Belt is properly tensioned, ensure that the four Engine Bolts are completely tightened.

Reinstall the Belt Guard and Inner Guard.

Note:

Check and re-tighten the Drive Belt, if necessary, after an initial break-in

period of one hour.
