AUGER INTERMEDIATE BELT TENSION
FIGURE 65
Adjust the intermediate belt (item 1) tension by turning
the adjusting nut (item 2) of the tightener (item 3).
To make sure the spring (item 4) is sufficiently tightened,
leave a 1/16” to 3/32” (1.5 to 3.4 mm) gap between the
spring spirals.
Next, adjust the stop bolt (item 5) by loosening the nut
(item 6) so that a 1/8” (3 mm) gap is obtained between
the bottom of the tightening arm and the stop bolt.
Re-tighten the nut.

AUGER DRIVE BELT TENSION - FIGURE 66
Set the clutch control arm (item 1) to the ON position.
Adjust the tightener (item 6) tension on the auger drive
belts (item 3) with the tension spring (item 2) nuts (item
4) to obtain a normal tension. Leave a 1/32” (0.8 mm)
gap between the spring spirals.
The locking nuts (item 5) should be adjusted to leave a
1/4” (6.4 mm) gap as shown in the illustration. The clutch
control arm (item 1) should be in the ON position.
