holding the belt cover and remove the cover.

To check the belt tension squeeze the belt. Using light

pressure the belt should deflect approximately

25.4 mm.

To adjust the tension:

- Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen(but do not

remove) the six motormount screws.

- To increase the belt tension turn the adjusting

socket head set screw clockwise. To decrease the

tension turn the adjusting set screw counter-

clockwise.

fail prematurely.

- Securely tighten the six motormount screws.
