place a block of wood under the motor to
take the tension off the belt.

nut, and washer (C, Fig.21).

Adjusting Belt Tension
The belt comes adjusted from the factory. If
adjustment is needed:
1. Disconnect the machine from the power
source.
2. Set the belt tension by lightly pressing down
on the motor and tightening the hex cap
screw (B, Fig. 20).
3. The weight of the motor should put enough
tension on the belt. You just want to push
down lightly to take up any slack.
