Model H60B: – See Figure 8.
Adjust the spring-loaded idler springs to a compressed length of 15/16” initially for a few hours
until the belts run in; then adjust the spring to 1-1/8” to 1-1/4” compressed length.
Model C60BE: – See Figure 9.

Model H40B – See Figure 10.
Take special care to make sure that the belt is placed between the brake stud and the idler pulley.
With the clutch engaged, adjust the nuts on the spring-loaded idler adjuster bolt until the length of
the spring is approximately 2-3/4”. The running spring length should be maintained between 2-
3/4” and 3-1/4”. For maximum belt life, periodic checks should be done to make sure the spring
length has not exceeded the maximum recommended running length.
Note:
Failure to periodically adjust the belt tension will result in severe belt wear and
premature belt failure.
This model comes with a belt brake, which is a safety feature that stops the blades from turning
after the clutch is disengaged. The only time the brake should be in contact with the belt is when
the clutch is disengaged.
