Spindle (Blade Shaft) Drive Belt Tension Adjustment



NOTE

When loosening drive belts, lower the saw to reduce stress on the tensioning system, and use gravity to pull the engine forward slightly. When tightening belts, raise the saw, and gravity will aid the process also.

WARNING

NEVER attempt to check or adjust the V-belt tension with the engine running. Severe injury can occur. Keep fingers, hands, hair, and clothing away from all moving parts.

1.Remove the Upper Belt Guard (see Fig. 26).

2.Loosen the front Engine Mount lock bolts (A, A) only, to allow the engine to slide. DO NOT loosen the rear bolts (B, B).

3.With the front bolts loose, the rear Engine Mount bolts (B, B) should have a ¼” space, as shown:
