2. Tighten or loosen the drive belts (or idler pulley when equipped) to achieve the proper tension.
Important
The drive belt should be just tight enough to not slip on the drive pulley when operating. If the belt
is too loose, it will slip, possibly causing a squeaking sound and slowing the belt down. If the belt is
too tight, it will cause excess wear.
3. Reattach and secure guard. Start system to ensure proper operation.
7.18. Align the Drive Belts
Æ
When equipped:
1. Lay a straight edge across the pulley faces to check the alignment.
2. Use the pulley hub to move the pulley to the required position for alignment.
3. Tighten the hub bolts to secure pulley on the drive shaft.
4. Check the belt tension.
5. Reattach and secure the guard.
