V-Belt Tension
Check
Drive belts are properly
tensioned when 5kg of pressure
at the centre of the span
produces 4mm deflection.
To adjust tension, loosen the engine mounting bolts, loosen
the lock nut on the tensioning screw on the front of the
frame. Turn the tensioning screw clockwise to increase
tension and anti-clockwise to decrease tension. After proper
belt tension is obtained, tighten lock nut on tensioning screw
and all engine mounting bolts. Recheck alignment of pulleys.
