Test Run
For your convenience, the adjustments listed

results. Keep this in mind as you start to use your
new planer.

Adjustments
Tighten V-Belts
The final step in the set up process must be done
after approximately 16 hours of operation. During
this first 16 hours, the V-belts will stretch and seat
into the pulley grooves. After this time, the V-belts
must be retensioned or belt failure will occur
quickly. Refer to Page 22 when you are ready to
perform this important adjustment.
Note: Pulleys and belts run very hot. This is a
normal condition. Allow them to cool before mak
-
ing adjustments. A collection of black belt dust at
the bottom of the belt housing is a normal during
the life of the machine.
