SAWMILL SET-UP PROCEDURES
1. BELT TENSION
Follower Belt
– This is a polyurethane belt and will be seated tightly in the band wheel vee groove.
No adjustment is required for this belt.
Drive Belt - To check the belt tension, with your hand, firmly try to deflect the belt up and down.
There should be no more than
1/4” (6mm) of deflection. If the belt deflects more than this, it will need
to be tightened as described below.
**
Never attempt to adjust the belt tension with the engine running.
As a safety precaution, remove the spark plug cap**
To tighten the drive belt, start by loosening the four bolts that secure the engine to the engine mount.
