CHECKING AND ADJUSTING IMPELLER BELTS (cont.)
•
Increase belt tension by slowly tightening the two threaded tensioning rods on the impeller
side of the engine, making sure to tighten both the same number of turns in order to avoid
misaligning the engine. Recheck tension every turn or so until desired tension is achieved.
•
Retighten engine mounting bolts securely, then check and tighten all tensioning rods to avoid
loosening and consequential loss.
•
Replace drive belt top cover.
