GENERAL OPERATION
CAUTION
USE THE CYLINDER LOCK SHOWN ON PAGE 5-01,
WHEN WORKING ON THE HARVESTER WITH THE
CUTTING HEAD RAISED, TO PREVENT INJURY DUE
TO ACCIDENTAL RELEASE OF THE LIFT
MECHANISM.
Cutter Drive: Belt Tension
Uses one 3V belt…Tension is ¼” to 3/8” deflection
between the motor and crankshaft pulleys.
Adjustment is accomplished by loosening the three
locknuts on the cutter drive motor and turning the
adjustment nut clockwise to tighten, and counter
clockwise to loosen. Tighten the locknuts on the
drive motor when the adjustment is complete.
To change the V Belts, see Section 5, Page 5-04

Conveyors: Rubber or Mintex Belts
The rubber belt conveyor was developed for areas
with abrasive soils, but works well in most areas,
and is the preferred choice of most sod growers.
The mintex belt conveyor is used where
considerable loose soil accompanies the sod up the
conveyor, and helps to shake the loose soil from the
conveyor before it reaches the piler.
Crown Roller / Front Idler: Rubber Belt Conveyor
The rubber belt conveyor uses a crown roller at the
front end of the conveyor to keep the belt tracking
properly. It is easy to maintain proper alignment with
the adjusting wedges provided. A scraper is used to
prevent dirt build-up on the roller. An additional small
idler is used to prevent the belt from contacting the
cutting head frame or cradle. For maintenance or
service, see the Service section, page 5-06.
Front Idler: Mintex Mat Conveyor
The mintex mat conveyor uses an idler shaft and
sprockets at the front end of the conveyor to keep
the mat tracking properly. It is easy to maintain
proper alignment with the adjustment wedges
provided. Two additional small idlers are used to
prevent the belt from contacting the cutting head or
cradle. For maintenance or service, see the Service
section, page 5-08.
