Belt tension adjustment
To adjust the tension do the following
(see fig. 10)
: The
H40
flail mower is equipped
with a double side belt transmission and an automatic spring loaded belt tensioner.
There are three adjustment holes located on the side panel of the mower.
When the mower is delivered, the spring is located in the first of the three holes. As the
belts stretch and the belt deflection increases over 10 mm., it will be necessary to use
the other holes. At the point where the belts have stretched beyond where the third hole
no longer keeps them at the proper tension, it is necessary to change both belts.
