Maintenance (continued)
Tank
!DANGER
Never attempt to repair or modi- fy a tank! Welding, drilling or any other modification will weaken the tank resulting in damage from rupture or explo- sion. Always replace worn, cracked or damaged tanks.
NOTICE
Drain liquid from tank daily.
The tank should be carefully inspected at a minimum of once a year. Look for cracks forming near the welds. If a crack is detected, remove pressure from tank immediately and replace.

Drive Belt
Belt stretch is a result of normal use. When properly adjusted, the belt deflects about 1/2” with five pounds of pressure applied midway between the engine pul- ley and pump (See Figure 12).
| To adjust drive belt tension: | |
| 1. | Remove belt guard and loosen |
|
| engine brace. |
| 2. | Loosen the four fasteners holding the |
|
| engine to the baseplate. |
Tank Drain | 3. | Shift the engine in the proper direc- |
|
| tion. The belt must be properly |
|
| aligned when adjustment is made. |
| 4. | To align belt, lay a straight edge |
|
| against the face of the flywheel, |
|
| touching the rim at two places (See |
|
| Figure 13). |
| 5. | Adjust flywheel or engine pulley so |
|
| that the belt runs parallel to the |
|
| straight edge. |
| 6. | Use a gear puller to move the pulley |
|
| on the shaft and tighten fasteners. |
| 7. | Adjust brace and reinstall. |
