V-Belt Tensioning
Periodically remove the belt cover and inspect the belt for cracking, slipping, or fraying. If the belt shows signs of excessive wear, replace it as outlined in Belt Replacement on Page 41.
However, with normal use, the belt will gradually stretch over time. When it does, perform the fol- lowing procedures to keep it tensioned. No belt deflection is recommended for this belt.
