2. Belts

Belts must be properly tensioned at all times to avoid

excessive flopping and slipping. Loose belts will also

cause poor cutting and premature wear.

To tension the belts, loosen lock-nut (E) and tighten

screw (D) (photo 39). When belts have been tensioned

correctly, retighten the lock-nut.

Belt tension is correct if deflection does not exceed 10

mm  (2/5")  when a belt is pressed upon with a force of

3.5 kg (8 lbs) at mid distance between pulleys. This

must be checked, particularly during the first hours of

work, through the cut-out (C) located underneath the

belt shield (photo 40).

Note 

: Belts must never be changed individually. If

one of them becomes damaged, the whole set

(code No. 83101791) must be replaced.

3. Releasing compensating spring

(photo 41)

When parking the machine, the compensating spring

is automatically released by operating the parking

stand control lever which also activates the transport

lock through cable (S), allowing the shouldered rod (F)

to slide freely in its guide (G). Length of cable (S) can

be adjusted by using screw (V), if necessary.
