CONTROLS
DRIVE SAFETY CONTROL LEVER
Engages tines into forward; releasing stops tines and returns
machine to neutral.
Pulling down on the drive safety control lever engages the tines.
Releasing the drive safety control lever disengages the tines to
a neutral position.
BELT TENSION ADJUSTMENT
Proper belt tension is critical to good performance. After 30
minutes of operation, all cables may have to be adjusted due
to initial stretch. Thereafter, check tension after every two hours
of operation.
To increase belt tension:
1. Loosen upper jam nut. Turn nut up cable in 1/8” increments.
2. Tighten lower jam nut.
3. Check adjustment.
This procedure can be repeated until conduit adjustment bolts
have no more adjustment left. If no more adjustment can be
made, belt may have to be replaced.
