INSPECTION

V-Belt Check

CAUTION

NEVER attempt to check theV-belt with the engine running. Severe injury can occur of your hand (Figure 7) gets caught between theV-belt and the clutch.Always use safety gloves.

3.A loose V-belt will decrease the power transmission output, causing reduced compaction and premature wear of the belt.

4.If the V-belt becomes worn or loose, replace it. See maintenance section.
