Use and Care Manual

4.3 Drive Belt (Fig.3)

On new machines or aer installing a new belt, check belt tension aer first 20 hours of

operation. Check and adjust belt every 50 hours thereaer.

To change the belt:

4.3.1 Remove the beltguard and remove the four hex nuts (a) holding pulley halves (b)

together. Remove outer pulley half and remove belt.

4.3.2 Install new belt on pulley and secure pulley halves together with hex nuts. Adjust

tension on belt by adding or removing spacers (c) between pulley halves. The fewer

spacers used between pulley halves, the tighter the belt will be. Three spacers with new

belts should provide the correct tension. Belt deflection should be 6-10 mm (1/4-3/8"),

checked half way between the clutch pulley and the exciter pulley (d). Place unused

spacers on outside of pulley.

4.3.3 Replace beltguard.

4.4 Exciter Lubrication (Fig. 4)

The exciter assembly is a self-contained, sealed unit. The bearings are lubricated using

automatic transmission fluid (see Technical Data for type). Change fluid once every year

or 300 hours of operation. When changing fluid, replace O-ring (a).
