BELT MAINTENANCE
(WARNING: REMOVE LP TANK BEFORE TURNING OVER THE MACHINE)
To change a broken or worn belt, turn the machine on its side and remove the pad and pad
driver. NOTE: look for the, “THIS SIDE UP” decal on the side of the machine. The Honda
engine can only be tilted on one side due to its carb filter location. Using a wrench, loosen
the hex bolt for the pulley tensioner. Once the tensioner is loose, the belt can be easily
removed. Slip the old belt off the pulleys and reattach the new belt. Attach the pulley
tensioner back into position and retighten its bolt. The tensioner should provide the belt with
a 0.16 inch belt deflection when a force of 2 pounds is applied against outside of belt. Turn
machine upright immediately after the service is completed.
