1.The correct tension is achieved when the total up and down play of the small clutch belt is approximately ½” and the larger drive belt is approximately 1”.

2. Adjusting the belts:

a.Turn the two belt tension bolts, located on the outside of the drive belt frame plates as indicated in figure 15 until approx. ½” of play is present.

b.Next, using two 17mm wrenches, loosen the axle bolt on the rear wheel. With the axle loose, adjust the rear adjuster bolts (figure 16), until there is approx. 1” of total play present.

Cautiously ride the powerboard the first time to ensure that everything is in proper working order after every adjustment.
