Disconnect and lockout power before perform-
ing any service to the electrical system. For battery-pow-
ered equipment, disconnect the negative battery terminal
cable. Failure to do so may result in injury and/or electrical
system damage.

the key switch to the OFF (#0) position and remove the key.
If the key is turned on and moving parts activated, serious
injury may result.
1.
Adjust the power feed belt as needed. When the power feed belt gets loose, it will begin
slipping. This causes the carriage to not move forward when cutting. To retighten the belt:
See Figure 5-17.
Remove the four cover bolts and belt cover and measure the belt ten-
sion. The belt should be tightened so there is 1/8" (3 mm) deflection with a 7 lb. (3.2 Kg)
deflection force. To adjust the belt tension, loosen the four motor mount bolts. Place a
wrench on the jam nut and turn the adjustment bolt clockwise to tighten the belt.
