Blade Wheel Belts

1.

Check the blade wheel belts for wear. Replace them if necessary. Rotating the belts every 50 hours
will increase the belt life. Use only B57 belts manufactured by Goodyear or Browning.

2.

Periodically check all belts for wear. Replace any damaged or worn belts as needed.

3.8

Up/Down and Power Feed System

1.

Adjust the up/down chain tension. Measure the chain tension with the head all the way to the top of
the vertical mast. Secure the saw head with the chain or spacers. Find the chain adjusting bolt at the
bottom of the mast. Loosen the nut and move the sprocket down until the center of the chain is
deflected 2.5cm (0.787”) with a 2.3 KG (5.5 lbf, 24.5 N) deflection force.

DANGER!

Always secure the cutting head with a chain or board

before adjusting the up/down chain. The cutting head may fall, causing
severe injury or death.
