Cutting Wheel Belt - Check &
Adjust Tension
Using a belt gauge, check the Belt tension by depressing
the Belt at the center of the span.
1. Open the Belt guard cover (1). The cutting wheel must
be free to rotate (eg. not resting on ground).
• The belt should deflect 3/8”-1/2” when 20 lbs. force
is applied.
• Use 20 lbs. at 3/8” deflection when installing a new
belt. After approximately 5-10 hours it will begin to seat
in and drop down into the 12-15 lbs. range at 1/2”
deflection.

A MOVING BELT IS VERY POWERFUL AND
DANGEROUS. KEEP AWAY FROM A MOVING BELT
AT ALL TIMES! EXTREME CAUTION MUST BE USED
TO PREVENT DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY. FOR
THE SAKE OF SAFETY, THE BELT GUARD COVER
MUST ALWAYS BE IN PLACE WHEN THE ENGINE
IS RUNNING. BEFORE BEGINNING TO CHECK OR
ADJUST THE BELT: SHUT-DOWN THE MACHINE,
INSURE THAT ALL MOVING PARTS HAVE COME TO
A HALT, REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION,
AND PLACE THE KEY IN SAFEKEEPING.
