G10 KINETIC LOG SPLITTER
Adjusting and Replacing the Belt
Checking and Adjusting the Belt Tension
Note:
The Belt performs best with a slight amount of slack as described below to
allow for the belt to slip on the pulley when the Wedge encounters a tough log. Too
much tension may stall the Motor.
Tools and Supplies needed:
Phillips Screwdriver
14mm Wrench
17 mm Wrench
1.
Remove the Center Guard, Flywheel Guard, and Belt Guard (see “Greasing
the Rack” in this Chapter).
2.
Place a Straight Edge across the top of the belt (
Figure 15
).
3.
Push on the top of the Belt with about 10 pounds of pressure. The Belt
should deflect approximately 1/2" to 5/8". If the distance is not between
1/2" and 5/8", adjust per the following directions.
4.
Loosen the Motor Hardware using a 14mm Wrench on the bolt and a 17mm
Wrench on the nut (
Figure 16
).
5.
Use a 17mm Wrench to turn the Tension Nut in against the Frame to
tighten (if Belt is too loose) or out to loosen (if Belt is too tight) for the
correct Belt tension.
6.
When the Belt is at the proper tension, tighten the Motor Hardware.
7.
Reinstall the Guards.
