Belt Tension Adjustment

The belt spring tension is adjustable. The belt tension

is factory set with the least amount of tension. This

allows some belt slippage to protect the gearbox and

drive components in the event an immovable object

stops the auger or fan. If excessive belt slippage

occurs in normal operating conditions, belt tension

may be increased by moving the spring arm to a dif-

ferent belt tightener notch or bolt.
