Replacing V-Belt

1. Disconnect the machine from the power

source.

2. Release blade tension by turning blade tension

hand wheel clockwise.

3. Release belt tension by loosening the two hex

cap bolts (A, Fig. 19). Raise the motor and

tighten hex cap bolts to take the tension off the

belt.

4. Open the lower wheel door and remove hex

nut, and washer (B, Fig. 20).

5. Remove the wheel (C, Fig. 21). If the lower

wheel does not come off easily you may need

to use a pulley puller to remove the lower

wheel.

6. Remove the old belt (D, Fig. 21) and replace

the belt.

7. Reinstall the lower wheel and tighten the hex

nut.

8. Loosen hex cap bolts and adjust the belt

tension. See “Adjusting the Belt Tension.”

9. Set the blade tension. See “Adjusting Blade

Tension” on page 10.

10. Check the blade tracking. See “Adjusting Blade

Tracking” on page 10.

Adjusting Belt Tension

The belt comes adjusted from the factory. If

adjustment is needed:

1. Disconnect the machine from the power

source.

2. Loosen hex cap bolts (A, Fig. 19).

3. Set the belt tension by lightly pressing down on

the motor and tightening the hex cap bolts (A,

Fig. 19).

Note: The weight of the motor should put enough

tension on the belt. You just want to push down

lightly to take up any slack.
