• 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
power to the cutting drum. Slipping belts will overheat, the blade life will be shortened and the cutting speed lim-
ited. Over tensioned belts will shorten the belt and bearing life.
• Damaged, stretched or excessively worn belts should be replaced with a new matched set.
• To tension belts, loosen motor mounting hardware slightly. Use the jacking bolt to adjust the motor until the belts
are tight. Re-torque the engine mounting hardware.
