BELTS
Under tensioned V-belts can slip and squeal. This
generates excess heat and results in cracking and
premature belt failure. Over-tensioned belts reduce
belt and bearing life.
Properly tensioning and aligning a belt drive will allow
the belt drive to perform at it’s maximum level.
Stop the engine and remove the spark plug wire
before making any belt adjustments.
Adjust belt tension after the first five hours of
operation. Then tension as required.
BLADE BELT ADJUSTMENT
