the  drive  safety  control  lever  disengages  the  tines  to  a  neutral 
position.

BELT TENSION AdjUSTMENT

Proper belt tension is critical to good performance. After 1/2 hour of 
operation, all cables may have to be adjusted due to initial stretch. 
Thereafter, check tension after every 2 hours of operation. 
To increase belt tension:  SEE FIGURE 5.
1.  Loosen upper jam nut. Turn nut up cable in 1/8” increments.
2.  Tighten lower jam nut.
3.  Check adjustment.  Adjustment should not allow tines to direct 

drive when drive control lever is in neutral position.

This procedure can be repeated until conduit adjustment bolts have 
no more adjustment left. If no more adjustment can be made, belt 
may have to be replaced.
