3. Remove the 3 Allen machine screws on the blade by using a Allen key in the front
and rotating the lock nut on the back with a ring spanner
4. Sharpen the blade.
If the blade is damaged by metal or stone or other hard objects please sharpen
the damaged area.
Avoid changing the blade colour and anneal when sharpening the blade.
It may result in a break on the edge of the blade
Cutting angle should be kept within 45-40 degrees.
The two blades should retain the same weight. Vibration will occur if they differ.
Position the blade on the flywheel and tighten the nuts.
Replace the inspection Plate covering the blade.
Replace the discharge screen.
Adjust the outlet of the discharge chute.
Adjusting the belt - Always Wear Gloves
There is a “V” belt under the belt guard. The belt will become loose and slip after
using for some time. So re-tension adjustment is required.
1.
Turn off the engine, remove spark plug and remove the belt cover.
2. Loosen the four location nuts on the engine.
3. Move engine forward until the “V” belt is tight.
4. Align the main pulley and affiliated pulley so that they are on the same plane. (A
ruler can be used to measure for correct distance). Tighten the four location bolts
on the engine base.
5. Re fix the belt cover back in its correct position and tighten nuts.
Replacing the belt - Always wear Gloves
The “V” belt needs to be replaced if it is has stretched or been damaged.
1. Turn off the engine, remove spark plug and remove the belt cover.
2. Loosen the 4 bed bolts on the engine slightly (Do not completely undo as this will
let a baffle fall down inside the drum).
3. Remove the old belt. Pull the belt off using tools and turn the pulley gradually to
remove the belt from the pulley.
Note: Take care not to trap fingers in belt/pulley.
4. Place the new belt on the main pulley first (“V” belt on engine) and then ease
onto the lower pulley on the blade flywheel.
5. The new belt will be tighter than the old one. To assemble the new one is not as
easily as removing the old one. When you hold the belt into the slot of the pulley
wheel, do not put your finger between the pulley and belt, which may result in
injury.
6. Follow step 4 (Adjusting the belt) to align correctly
7. Replace the belt cover.
