EQUIPMENT DEVELOPMENT CO., INC.
Belt Adjustment and Replacement:
• Periodically check belt(s) for damage, same type and are at the proper tension. Do not mix belts. Slipping belt(s) will
overheat causing the cutting speed to be limited and shorten the life of the belts. Over-tensioned belts will shorten the
life of the belt(s) and bearings.
• On new equipment and after installing new belt(s) of the same type, be certain to re-tension the belt(s) after the
fi rst 4 hours of use. New belts are stiff and require a break in period. Belts that are loose could slip and/or over-
heat.
• Damaged, stretched or excessively worn belt(s) should be replaced with a new complete set of belt(s) of the same
type. Do not mix belts.
• Belt(s) must be replaced with the same type.
• Blade must be realigned every time the belt(s) are tensioned, gas model
only.
