INSPECTION/setup

3.Check V-belt tension by using a tension meter (3.0 lbs./1.36Kg) against the inside belt at a mid point between the two pulleys, or by deflecting the center belt at a mid point 3/16" (5 mm).

Figure 9. V-Belt Alignment

4.DO NOT over or under tighten the V-belts. Severe damage can occur to the saw and engine crankshaft 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).

NOTICE

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