4. V-Belt Inspection, Adjustment and Replacement:
The MK-101 is designed with a power transmission V-belt. In order to ensure the MK-101 operates at peak
efficiency, the V-belt should be inspected monthly, and changed if the V-belt shows damage and/or excessive
wear.
NOTE:
1. When a new belt is installed, it should be inspected and re-tensioned after the first forty-eight (48) hours
of operation.
* A GFCI wall socket is the preferred protective device.
