FS2/FS2SP CONCRETE SAW — MAINTENANCE

DriveV-Belt Check

Operating the saw with less than four (4) V-belts, or belts that are slipping or are Over Tensioned will significantly diminish the performance of the saw, and may cause damage to the blade.

Reference Pointers and Covers Assembly (page 48), Blade Shaft Assembly (page 44), Engine Mount Assembly (page 46) for this operation.

1.Remove the Belt Guard (page 48, item 6), then loosen the tension of theV-Belts

2.Loosen the Engine Mount Carriage Bolt (page 46, item 7).

3.Loosen the (4) 1 1/2” HHC screws (page 46, item 4).

4.Rotate the engine down to provide slack in the V-Belts.

7.Orient the blade shaft so the belt(s) to be replaced can slide of the blade shaft pulley and engine pulley.

8.Select the proper Multiquip replacement V-Belts (see page 45, item 12).

9.Remove the wornV-Belt(s).

10.Orient the proper replacement V-Belt(s) around the blade shaft pulley and engine pulley.

Adjust V-BeltTension

1.Tighten down the engine mount carriage bolt (page 46, item 7,) and monitor the tension on the belts.

2.Determine the proper tension (Figure 32) by using a tensionmeter against the inside belts at mid point between the two pulleys (6-9 lbs.), or by deflecting the center belts at mid point 3/8” (10 mm) to 1/2” (13 mm).

3.Once the proper tension has been applied to the belts, tighten the (4) 1-1/2” HHC screws (page 46, item 4).

4.Replace and secure the Belt Guard (page 48, item 6).

General Cleanliness

Clean the machine daily. Remove all dust and slurry build up. If the saw is steam cleaned, ensure that lubrication is accom- plished AFTER steam cleaning operations.
