Maintenance and Adjustment
Rib Ace-belt Change and Adjustment
1. Move ignition switch down “STOP” position.
2. Remove belt tension (with 13 mm end of the box
wrench) by turning the cam anticlockwise.
3. Remove rear arm cover and front arm cover.
(Save the seven screws.)
4. Use the 13 mm end of the box wrench to loosen
arm mounting nuts just a little.
5. Push arm towards small pulley. Pull belt off
pulley at point (B) and slip new belt onto small
pulley. At point (A), start belt over the rim and
onto the large pulley.
6. Reinstall the covers. Turn the tension adjusting
cam clockwise until the edge of the arrow in the
peep window reachs the line. (See drawing.)
7. Lightly swing the tip of the arm up and down
several times. This sets the tension automatically.
8. Tighten the arm mounting nuts fully.
Remounting Arm for Flush Cutting
When necessary to cut up close to a barrier, invert and remount the arm so
the wheel is on the outboard side.
1. Refer to “Rib Ace-belt Change and Adjustment” to remove the belt. This
time, remove the arm mounting nuts, the long plate.
2. Use the parts removed in step one to remount the arm – this time in the
inverted position. (This time, direction of wheel rotation is opposite to the
arrow.)
3. Push the wheel shield and arm through loop of the Rib Ace-belt. Follow
instructions to mount and tension the Rib Ace-belt.
4. Reinstall all parts previously removed, and tension the belt.
