BELT REPLACEMENT AND ALIGNMENT
11. Roll the new belt on one groove at a time
(two or single multi-groove belt) on both
the top and bottom pulleys.
12. Using the straight edge, lay it across the
lower pulley outer face and against the
upper pulley. They must be directly over
top of each other to insure long belt life.
If adjustment is required, align before
tensioning the belt.
13. After installation, use the 3/8” open wrench to
screw out the belt tensioning jackscrew under
the motor plate to tension the belts to your
desired tension. Do not over-tension the belt.
14. After the correct tension is reached, tighten
the front motor plate securing screw on the
belt side with the 9/16” box end wrench.
15. Now from the front of the machine observe
the motor plate to machine alignment.
Tightening the belts with the jackscrew tends
to cause the right side of the motor plate to
lift higher than the left side. By pushing down
on the right front side you can level the plate
and then tighten the front right screw to secure
in a level position.
16. Now tighten the rear securing bolts with the
two 9/16” wrenches.
17. Tighten the motor plate jackscrew-retaining
nut with a 9/16” wrench to prevent it from turning.
18. Replace the belt cover using the 3/4“ box wrench.
19. Replace the spark plug and the spark plug wire.
BELT ALIGNMENT:
If the unit has premature belt wear, breakage or pulley problems, the issue may be incorrect alignment
or excessive belt tensioning. All pulleys must be aligned directly above each other to insure belt integrity.
This includes possible timing belts used on newer models. Incorrect alignment wears the sides of the
belts excessively and will cause slippage.
1. Use a long straight edge (carpenters square) to check alignment during belt tensioning or belt
replacement time.
2. By laying the straight edge against the outer face of the lower pulley, the square will extend up and
rest against the outer face of the upper (engine pulley). If not, move the motor pulley in or out to obtain
alignment.
3. If replacing pulleys (top or bottom) be sure to place the pulley on the same plane as the original one
to insure alignment.
