SAWMILL SET-UP PROCEDURES
#1 – BELT TENSION
To check the belt tension, with a tension meter, deflect the belt up and down with 60N force. There should be no more
than 5-6mm of deflection in both directions. If the belt deflects more than this, it will need to be tightened as described
below.
To tighten the drive belt, start by loosening the four bolts that secure the engine to the engine mount using a 16mm
wrench.
Now that the engine is free to slide on the engine mounting plate, turn the 16mm nut on the horizontal stud in the
clockwise direction. This will pull the engine towards the stud and apply more tension on the belt. Do this step
incrementally while checking the belt for proper deflection. It is also important to ensure that the engine remains
perpendicular to the drive belt. Over tightening can cause the engine to twist on the mounting plate, resulting in belt
alignment issues and premature wear. Once the desired belt tension is set, tighten the four engine bolts.
Alternatively, if the drive belt is too tight, the 16mm nut on the horizontal stud can be turned counter-clockwise.
