REDUCTION BELT ADJUSTMENT
The transmission belt is well adjusted at the time of shipment, but it could become slack
during initial operations. When necessary adjust it so as to keep it always in an optimum
state of tension. Referring to the picture below adjust reduction belt tension as outlined
in these steps. A high pitch revving noise from the engine is a sign that the belt has
become loose. Be sure to tighten the belt as soon as possible or you could damage it.
1. Remove the propeller from the driven pulley.
2. Loosen the prop shaft retaining nut and then screw (A) NB. They will be very tight!!
3. Insert the 5mm hex key into the hole in the side of the prop shaft. (B)
4. To tension the belt, firmly rotate the shaft clockwise. This in turn will enable the
eentric prop shaft to increase the belt tension. It will be very stiff to move.
5. Once the belt has reached the required tension simply re-tighten the prop shaft
retaining screw and nylock nut. (see diagram below for belt tension setting)
