• On new equipment, and after replacing a set of belts, they should be re-tensioned after the first four hours of use.
• New belts will be stiff and will loosen with use. Proper belt tension must be maintained to transmit the engine/motor
power to the cutting drum. Slipping belts will overheat, belt life will be shortened and the cutting speed limited.
Over tensioned belts will shorten belt and bearing life.
•
Damaged, stretched or excessively worn belts should be replaced with a complete set. DO NOT mix new and used
belts, doing so will only shorten the life of new belt(s) and limit power transfer from the engine/motor to the cutting
drum. This will have a definite impact on machine efficiency and production rate.
• To tension belts, loosen motor mounting hardware slightly. Use the jacking bolt to adjust the engine/motor until the
belts are tight. Re-torque the engine/motor mounting hardware.
Belts:
• Check oil level before operation. Change engine oil and filter according to engine manufacturers recommenda-
tions.
• Clean air filter element daily.
Important!
Figure 8
Engine Air Filter:
• Inspect the air filter (Figure 8) for excess dust, dirt or dam-
age before the engine is operated. More often if operating
in a extremely dusty environment.
• Operating the engine with a damaged or dirty air filter, or
without an air filter, will allow dirt to enter the engine causing
premature engine wear which is not covered under the
engine manufacturer’s warranty.
• Follow the engine manufacturer’s procedures for keeping
filters in good condition.
