INDIVIDUAL TINE REPLACEMENT

3. Replace the tine making sure to use the maximum amount of threads on the tine.
NOTE : Tines are a normal wear item and should be inspected regularly for signs of wear or damage.
ADJUSTING BELT TENSION
1. Adjust the clutch cable (item 54) by threading the cable adjuster (item 52) further onto the cable to tighten belt. The
opposite direction will loosen the belt. Do not over tighten the v-belt. This puts a load on the engine gearbox bearings.
The belt is tight enough when it does not slip during operation.
2. Also loosen engine and slide in slots to apply or relieve tension on belt.
NOTE
: A worn belt will not allow for proper adjustment and must be replaced.
DRIVE BELT REPLACEMENT
1. Disconnect the spark plug.
2 . Remove the lower and upper tensioner brackets (items 47 and 48) on both sides of the pulley (item 3).
3. Walk the belts (item 59) off of the engine pulley.
4. Attach a hoist mechanism to the cam shaft (item 42), and then remove the four bolts, washers, and nuts (items 57, 7 and
6) that attach the bearing (item 6) of the cam shaft to the frame.
5. Raise the cam shaft out of the frame and remove the old belts.
6. To replace the belts, simply slide the new belts onto the pulley when the cam shaft is raised then follow the previous
steps in reverse to install.
