FS2 CONCRETE SAW — INSPECTION -GUARDS, COVERS AND V-BELTS
3.Check V-belt tension (Figure 15) by using a tensionmeter (6.0 - 9.0 lbs) against the inside belt at a mid point between the two pulleys, or by deflecting the center belt at a mid point 3/8” (10mm) - 1/2” (13mm).
Figure 15. V-Belt Tension
4.DO NOT over or under tension the V-belts. Severe damage can occur to the saw and engine crank shaft if the belts are over tensioned. A decrease of power to the blade and poor performance will result if the belts are under tensioned (loose on pulleys).
5.If the V-belts becomes worn or loose, replace them by using V-belt part number 15082.
