The V-belts transmit power to the rotor knives and should
be adjusted if they are slipping under normal load. If
V-belts are slipping under normal load, then make
adjustments as follows.

is set. Disengage power take-off, shut tractor engine
off, remove switch key and wait for all moving parts to
stop completely before working on this.

shaft.
3. Remove the three hex flange screws (#7) and belt
guard (#6).

pulleys. The belt should deflect 1" with 10 lbs. of
force. If belt needs tightened, go to step 5 below.
5. Tighten belt by loosening hex flange nut (#10) and
screwing hex flange nut (#2) clockwise to pull on
take-up spring (#3) and take-up pulley (#5).
6. If eyebolt (#1) runs out of threads before V-belts (#4)
are properly tensioned, then loosen eye bolt until
take-up spring (#3) can be moved from hole “A” to
hole “B”.
7.
With take-up spring in hole “B” retighten eye bolt (#1)
with hex flange nut (#2) until V-belts are properly
tensioned.
8. Tighten hex flange nut (#10).
Refer to Figure 3-4
