Adjusting belt tension
Using two 16 mm spanners, slightly loosen the two
clamping nuts near the bottom of the chipper. Do not
take the nuts completely off the thread.
Using a 13 mm spanner, adjust the bolt at the centre of
the machine frame box section underneath the machine
until the required belt tension is achieved. The belt
should flex by 5 mm when firmly pressing on it.
Using two 16 mm spanners, tighten the two clamping
nuts back up near the bottom of the chipper. Recheck
belt tension.
