Jackshaft Sheave Alignment
4. For a sheave using a tapered bushing,
place two setscrews into the setscrew
holes (in line with each other) on the
jackshaft drive sheave and tighten the
setscrews to secure.
NOTE: Make sure both sheaves are properly
aligned prior to securing
.
5. For a sheave using a QD bushing, move
the jackshaft sheave away from the
bushing just enough to tighten the setscrew
onto the shaft key. Place the three cap
screws into the unthreaded holes of the
sheave. Using a socket wrench, tighten the
cap screws into the QD bushing to secure.
6.
NOTE: Make sure both sheaves are
properly aligned prior to securing
.
Installing the Jackshaft Drive Belts
1. Ensure the two engine rail bolts, located on
the right side of the saw, are loose.
2. Ensure the engine is in the full forward
position by turning the belt tensioner lead
screw counter-clockwise using the belt
tensioner tool provided.
3. Install a matched set (10 belts) of belts
onto the PTO and jackshaft drive sheaves.
4. Turn the belt tensioner lead screw in a
clockwise direction to tension the belts.
Test the belt tension and readjust the lead
screw as necessary. DO NOT exceed the
manufacturer’s tension settings.
5. Retighten the engine rail bolts on the right
side of the saw.
6. Re-install, close and latch all belt guards.
Blade Drive Belts
WARNING
Turn off the engine prior to servicing
the belts. Use extreme caution when
working with belts and rotating machine
parts to avoid entanglement.
CAUTION
Let the belts cool down prior to servicing
them.
Inspect all belts daily for fraying, stress cracks,
and/or breakage and replace immediately
when damaged. Always re-tension new belts
after the first two to four hours of use. DO NOT
exceed the manufacturer’s recommended belt
tension settings when tensioning belts.
NOTE: Over-tensioning belts may reduce the
life of the bearings. Under-tensioning belts may
cause slippage, shorter belt life, and/or poor
saw performance. Squealing belts indicate
looseness
.
Tensioning the Blade Drive Belts
Blade Drive Belts
1. Unlatch and lower the front jackshaft belt
cover.
2. Test the belt tension.
3. Slightly loosen the four pillow block bearing
mounting bolts.
4. Loosen the jam nut on each of the two
blade drive belt tension bolts.
