GUARDS, COVERS AND V-BELTS

Figure 8.V-Belt Tension Check

4.DO NOT over or under tighten the V-belt. Severe damage can occur to the saw and engine crank shaft if the belt is over-tensioned. A decrease of power to the blade and poor performance will result if the belt is under-tensioned (loose on pulleys).

V-belt alignment must be rechecked after adjusting belt tension.

To Tighten the V-belt:

Figure 9.V-Belt Tension Adjust

1.With V-belt guard removed, loosen the 4 engine mounting hex screws. (items 2 Figure 9)

2.Loosen locking nut on the V-belt tension adjuster, (3 ).

3.Tighten the adjusting hex screw (4) while holding the engine in place to maintain pulley alignment. (a screwdriver can be used as a lever at the rear belt guard mounting boss to hold the back of the engine while adjusting V-belt tension.)

4.Re-tighten the locking nut (3).

5.With V-belt held in proper alignment, (engine parallel with the frame), re-tighten the 4 engine mounting hex screws. Verify that all hex screws are properly tightened.

To Remove and Replace the V-belt:

If theV-belt become worn or damaged, replace it with P/N 16052 (Gates/Optibelt 3VX335).

1.Remove the 3 hex screws holding the V-belt guard and remove the guard.

2.Loosen the 4 engine mounting hex screws. (item 2, Figure 9)

3.Loosen locking nut on the V-belt tension adjuster (item 3, Figure 9). Loosen the tension on the V-belt by turning the tension adjuster hex screw (item 4, Figure 9).

4.Pull the engine ahead to provide slack in the V-belt.

5.Loosen the 4 arbor shaft hex screws, (item 1, Figure 9).

Figure 10.V-Belt Removal

6.Remove the two outer arbor shaft hex screws allowing the outside of the shaft to drop, (B in Figure 10), allowing removal of theV-belt.

7.Reinstall new V-belt.

8.Re-install and tighten arbor shaft hex head screws.

9.With V-belt held in proper alignment, re-tighten the 4 engine mounting hex screws.(Follow V-belt tightening procedures.)

10.Re-install belt guard with 3 hex screws.
