Tighten V-Belts

The final step in the set up process must be done after approximately 16 hours of operation. During this first 16 hours, the V-belts will stretch and seat into the pulley grooves. After this 16 hours, the V- belts must be tensioned or your belts will slip and burn out. Refer to Page 23 when you are ready to perform this important adjustment.

Note: Pulleys and belts run very hot. This is a normal condition. Allow them to cool before mak- ing adjustments.

Note: A collection of black belt dust at the bottom of the belt housing is a normal during the life of the machine.
