1.To check theV-belt tension (Figure 8 ), remove upper belt cover.

Figure 8.V-Belt Location

2.The V-belt tension is proper if the V-belt bends 10 to 15 mm (Figure 9) when depressed with finger at midway between the clutch and vibration pulley shafts.

3.A loose V-belt will decrease the power transmission output, causing reduced compaction and premature wear of the belt.

4.If the V-belt becomes worn or loose, replace it by using V- belt part number RPF-3350 (Honda engine) or RPF-3340 (Robin engine).
