DJUST
IMPORTANT: On machines with serial numbers below 10311, Vermeer recommends replacing the clutch arm
with arm assembly containing greasable bearings, Vermeer Industrial Kit No. IK001380.
Proper tension is important for longer life and proper machine operation. If the belts are excessively tight, drive
sheave bearing failure or cutter drum bearing failure may occur. If the belts are too loose, slippage will occur.
