Checking The Drive Belt

The drive belt needs to be replaced as soon as it starts to show signs of wear. Indications of excessive belt wear are fraying, squealing when in use, belts that emit smoke or a burning rubber smell when in use.

Under normal operating conditions, a drive belt may last approximately 150 hours. If your trowel is not reaching this kind of life span for drive belt wear, check the drive belt for proper pulley alignment and spacing.

To gain access to the drive belt, remove the drive belt guard cover (item 1 Figure 17), then visually inspect the drive belt for signs of damage or excessive wear. If the drive belt is worn or damaged, replace the drive belt.

WARNING

DO NOT attempt to insert hands or tools into the belt area while the engine is running. NEVER run the engine with the safety guards removed. Keep fingers, hands, hair and clothing away from all moving parts to prevent bodily injury.
