2.Allow the weight of the motor to rest against the V-Belt and lightly tighten one motor mount bolt. For the time being, this will be adequate belt tension.
3.Align the motor and cutterhead pulleys with each other using a plumb bob or straight- edge. Move the motor until the face of the motor pulley is aligned with the cutterhead pulley and tighten the motor mount bolts. Pulley alignment can be fine tuned by loos- ening the motor pulley setscrews and mov- ing the pulley in or out as necessary. See
Figure 9.
4.Check belt tension by pinching the belt halfway between the pulleys with moderate pressure. The amount of flex between the pinched portions of the belt should be approximately 1". Loosen the motor mount bolts slightly and adjust the motor down to increase belt tension. Tighten motor mount bolts and recheck tension and pulley align- ment.
