After the first 16 hours of use, the V-belts
will stretch and seat into the pulley grooves.
The V-belts must be properly re-tensioned
after this period to ensure proper power
transmission and avoid reducing the life of
the belts. Refer to the V-Belts subsection on
Page 77 for detailed instructions.
