Adjusting the Belt
SECTION 5: ADJUSTMENTS
A slipping belt wastes power, causes control
problems and wears the belt out prematurely. You
should be able to deflect the belt
1
⁄2" to
3
⁄4" with
moderate finger pressure. The belt will slip if too
loose and squeal or cause vibration if too tight.
If the belt is too loose, or too tight:
1. Loosen the bolts around the motor base as
shown in Figure 13.
Figure 13. Loosening motor mount bolts.
2. Locate the handle on the motor base, and use
it to pull the belt tight. A backwards pull tight-
ens the belt as shown in Figure 14.

(called “flashing”) on them after they are

Sometimes, though, a bit of flashing might
escape inspection. Please examine the
edges of all die-cut metal parts before han-
