Checking and Replacing the V-Belt and Clutch

CAUTION - Checking and Replacing the V-Belt

NEVERattempttochecktheV-beltwith the engine running. Severe injury can occur if your hand gets caught between the V-belt and the clutch. Always use safetygloves.

1.To check theV-belt tension (Figure 19), remove upper belt cover.

Figure 19.V-Belt Location

2.The V-belt tension is proper if theV-belt bends 10 to 15 mm (Figure 20) when depressed with finger at midway between the clutch and vibration pulley shafts.

Replacing theV-belt

1.Remove the belt cover.

2.Engage an offset wrench (13 mm) or the like to vibrator pulley (lower) fastening bolt.

3.Engage waste cloth or the like at midway ofV-belt on the left side and while pulling it back strongly, rotate the offset wrench clockwise so that the V-belt will come off.

4.Check the clutch and replace as necessary, following the procedures listed in Checking the Clutch.

5.EngageV-belt to lower vibrator pulley and push the V-belt to the left side of the upper clutch and the rotate offset wrench clockwise so that the V-belt moves onto the pulley.

Checking the Clutch

1.With belt cover removed, visually check outer drum of the clutch for seizure and "V" groove for wear or damage.

2.Clean the "V" groove as necessary.

3.Check the clutch lining and shoe for signs of wear. If the shoe is worn, replace the clutch to prevent deficient power transmission and slippage.

Replacing the Clutch

1.RemoveV-belt.

2.Remove bolt at engine power output by giving a shock to an engaged wrench (e.g. tapping with hammer) and rotate the bolt counterclockwise.

3.Remove clutch with a pulley extractor.

4.To install a new clutch, reverse steps 1-3.

3.If theV-belt becomes worn or loose, replace the belt.A loose V-belt will decrease the power transmission output, causing reduced compaction and premature wear of the belt.
