13.0 TIGHTENING THE V-BELTS OF THE VERTI-CUT
Figure 10
The Verti-Cut is standard equipped with adjustable tension pulleys that keep the V-belts taut.
Depending on the intensity of using the machine, wear and tear can occur to the driveline
resulting in slipping of the V-belts. These V-belts should then be tightened.
Adjusting the tension pulley is done as follows
(see Figure 10)
:
Make sure that the Verti-Cut is blocked well and cannot move on its own
accord!
Make sure that the PTO is detached from the Verti-Cut!
1. Remove all nuts (1) and the safety cap (2).
2. Loosen the lock nut (3).
3. Loosen the nut (4) slightly so that the tension is just off.
4. Adjust the nut (5) and adjust with this the tension of the V-belts by moving the tension
pulley.
5. Check the tension of the V-belt by pushing point A with a pressure of 5 kg (11 lbs). The
stretch should be 6.8 mm (0.27”).
6. Tighten the nut (4).
7. Tighten the lock nut (3).
8. Return the safety cap (2) to its location and mount all nuts (1).
