Maintenance

CHECK THE BELT TENSION.

Turn the key switch to the

accessory

(3) position to engage the drive belt with the blade

switch on the control panel.

Turn the key switch to the

off

(0) position and

remove the key

Remove the engine shroud by unfastening all five (5) bolts.

Remove the drive belt cover.

Use the Tension Gauge (part number 016309) supplied with your Wood-Mizer to measure
the drive belt tension.

Zero out the pounds indicator on the gauge by sliding the small "O" ring against the yel-
low flange.

Set the bottom o-ring at

7/16” (11mm).

Use a straight edge between the pulleys as a reference point.

In the center of the belt span, press down on the rubber boot while the bottom of the
gauge is against the drive belt until the belt has deflected 7/16” (11mm) from the refer-
ence point.

When properly adjusted, the pound scale should read

8 lbs. (8.16kg).
