Drive Belt
Remove the belt guard then check the belt tension by placing light finger pressure on the top of the
belt, as near central between the engine drive and gearbox pulley. The belt should deflect by
between 10mm ~ 15mm. If the belt tension requires adjustment, loosen the four engine mount
bolts enough to allow the engine to be moved. Adjust the engine’s position by turning the tension
bolt clockwise to increase belt tension, anti-clockwise to decrease. Once set, retighten the engine
mount bolts and check the belt tension a second time. Finally, replace the belt guard ensuring it is
correctly and securely fitted.
