INSTALLING A REPLACEMENT V-BELT OR
PULLEY
Application: As Specified.
Tools Required:
1 each, 7/16 inch wrench.
2 each, 1/2 inch wrenches.
1 each, 9/16 inch wrench.
1 each, 16 inch minimum length straightedge.
1 each, 10 lbs minimum capacity, tension scale or belt
tension tool.
1 each, torque wrench, 35 ft lbs (47 Nm.) capacity with
7/16 inch and 9/16 inch sockets.
Parts Required:
1 each, PN 29020-056 V-belt 3VX335 (if required).
1 each, PN 29020-038 bushing (if required).
1 each, PN 29020-037 pulley (if required).
1 each, PN 10057-016 key (if required).
1) If the Floor Planer is powered by an engine,
disconnect the spark plug wire. If powered by an
electric motor, disconnect the extension cord or Floor
Planer from the power source.
2) Position the Floor Planer on a suitable work surface
with the V-belt approximately at waist level.
3) Using the 9/16 inch wrench, remove the belt guard
from the main frame. Clean the inside of the belt guard
with an appropriate solvent. Check for signs of wear
and damage.
CAUTION
Observe all applicable safety precautions for the
solvent.
3) Using a 1/2 inch wrench, remove the self locking
nuts on the engine/electric motor take-up capscrews.
Rotate the take-up capscrews until the hexagon head
contacts the threaded mounting plate.
4) Using the 1/2 inch wrenches, loosen the
engine/electric motor attachment capscrews, and slide
the engine/electric motor toward the front of the main
frame. FIGURE 34.

5) Remove the worn belt and install the replacement
V-belt, PN 29020-056 (3VX335).
a) Do not install a replacement belt if the pulleys have
worn grooves. Such pulleys should be replaced to
insure proper belt fit. Operating the V-belt in worn
pulley grooves will accelerate V-belt wear and
significantly reduce its service life.
b) A V-belt should never be forced over a pulley. More
belts are broken from this cause than from actual
failure in service.
c) Keep the belt as clean and free of foreign material
as possible. Do not use belt dressing.
6) Reinstall the engine/electric motor take-up
capscrews with the heads facing toward and in contact
with the engine crankcase/electric motor thrust plate.
Tighten the engine/electric motor attachment
capscrews until they just begin to apply tension to the
engine/electric motor. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
Alternately tighten the take-up capscrews until slight
tension is applied to the V-belt.
7) The driveshaft pulley should be positioned within
1/16 inch if the shaft shoulder. If the distance exceeds
this limit, proceed as follows:
a) Using the 7/16 inch wrench, remove the two 1/4
inch diameter capscrews from the bushing.
b) Insert the capscrews into the tapped holes in the
bushing flange. Tighten progressively until the bushing
disengages from the pulley.
c) Insert the 1/4 inch diameter capscrews into the
tapped holes in the pulley. Tighten progressively until
the bushing applies tension to the pulley. FIGURE 35.
