Adjusting the drive belts.
Motor adjustor Cover removed
The drive belts should be checked after running the machine for approximately 10
hours. The belts bed into the pulleys and will slacken off slightly. If they are not
adjusted, slippage may accrue, and this will cause early belt failure. There should be
approximately 3/16" deflection when the belt is pressed with moderate finger
pressure.
To increase the tension on the belts, loosen the motor adjustor lower nut. Tighten
the upper nut to increase the belt pressure.
Note. To access the drive belts, and motor, remove the side cover, and belt cover.
Note. Disconnect the power to the machine prior to conducting machine
adjustments or repairs.
