Operating Guide
On new machines or after installing a new belt, check
belt tension after first 20 hours of operation. Check
and adjust belt every 50 hours thereafter.
3. Check the condition of the V-belt(s). If any V-belt is cracked,
frayed, or glazed, it should be replaced as soon as convenient.
4. Check the V-belt tension by squeezing them in the center.
The normal deection on each side should be 3/8"(9mm) to
1/2"(13mm) with moderate pressure from your thumb or
nger. (See Figure 7b)
TENSIONING V-BELT(S)
Proper belt tension is critical to good performance.
Proper adjustment will assure long belt life. Too much or too little
belt tension will cause premature belt failure.
1. Loosen 4 engine mount bolts (do not remove) only enough to
move the engine forward. (See Figure 8a & Figure 8b)

When adjusting the belt(s), make sure that the clutch
pulley is in alignment with exciter pulley.
2. Loosen the jam nuts B, leaving enough space between the nut
and bracket.
3. Push engine toward the back of the plate by turning the
adjustment bolts A to remove any slack in V-belt(s).
4. When the V-belt tension is correct, tighten the jam nuts B
against the bracket. (See Figure 8c & Figure 8d)
