To do a check of the V-belts
• Pull and release the V-belts, 1 at a time. The belts
must give a long sound, not a short sound.
a) If you hear a long, clear sound from the V-belts,
the tension is correct.
b) If you hear only a short sound from the V-belts,
the tension is too low. Refer to
tension of the V-belts on page 34
.
• Examine the V-belts for wear and damages. Replace
damaged V-belts.
CAUTION: Do not replace only 1 of the
V-belts. Always replace all 4 V-belts at
the same time.
To increase the tension of the V-belts
CAUTION: The tension of new V-belts must
be increased after the first 2-4 hours of
operation.
