5) belt alignment is checked with the straightedge.
Place the straightedge squarely against the driveshaft
pulley. Properly aligned pulleys should also place
the straightedge squarely against the engine pulley,
FIGuRE 29. Remove the straightedge and rotate the
engine pulley 120 degrees. Recheck alignment with
the straightedge. Repeat the process until the engine
pulley is rotated a full 360 degrees. Maximum allowable
misalignment is +- 1/32 inch. If pulley alignment is
not within specifications, refer to INSTALLING A
REPLACEMENT V-BELT OR PULLEY for specific
information.
6) Install the belt guard to the main frame. Install the
flat washers and self-locking hexagon nuts. Torque
the nuts to 35 ft lbs (47 N.m). Determine that all
safety related decals affixed to the belt guard are fully
readable. If any decal is not fully readable, replace with
a factory approved, replacement part only.
7) If the Surface Planer is powered by an engine,
reconnect the engine spark plug wire. If powered
by an electric motor and the machine is to be used
immediately, reconnect the extension cord or Surface
Planer to the power source. Determine that the oN/
oFF switch located on the operator handle is in the
oFF position.
