Adjusting The Belt Tension - Husky C302H Use And Care Manual

Maintenance (continued)

ADJUSTING THE BELT TENSION

NOTE: Once the engine pulley has been moved from its
factory set location, the groves of the flywheel and pulley
must be aligned to within 1/16 in. (1.6mm) to prevent
excessive belt wear. Verify the alignment by performing the
following pulley and flywheel alignment.
□
Slide the motor into the original position, line
the motor up with the mark made earlier on the
saddle.
□
Tighten the two outside motor mounting screws
enough to hold the motor in place for checking
the pulley and flywheel alignment.
□
The belt should deflect 1/2 in. (12.7 mm) at
midway between the pulley and the flywheel
when a five-pound (2.26 kg.) weight is applied
at the midway point.
□
When proper belt tension is achieved, tighten all
four motor mounting screws. Torque to 15-20
ft-lbs. (20-27Nm).
