V-BELT TENSIONING
Proper belt tensionis critical to good performance. Proper
adjustment will assure long belt life. Too much or too little belt
tension will cause premature belt failure.
1. Turn off the engine. The engine must be cool.
2. Pull up on the belt tension lever to tighten the belts. (See Figure 21)
5. When the V-belt tension is correct, tighten the two M12
adjustment nuts by turning them clockwise. If the V-belt
tension is too tight, loosen it in the reverse direction by moving
the two M12 adjustment nuts upward and adjusting the sleeve
between them.
6. Check the V-belt tension by squeezing them in the center. The
normal indention on each side should be approximately 3/8
inch with moderate pressure from your thumb or nger. (See
Figure 23)

4. Check the condition of the V-belts. If any V-belt is cracked,
frayed, or glazed, it should be replaced.
5. Check the V-belt tension by squeezing them in the center. The
normal indention on each side should be approximately 3/8

2. Push down on the belt tension lever to release the belt tension.

V-BELT REPLACEMENT
Both V-belts should be replaced at the same time
because they will wear evenly through normal use.
