n Drive Belt Deflection
Measure belt deflection with both
clutches at rest and in their full
neutral position.
Place a straight edge (1) on the
belt and apply downward pressure
while measuring at point 2. This
measurement should be 1 1/4
inches (3.2 cm).

Drive Belt Adjustment

Belt deflection can be adjusted without removing the clutch from the
jackshaft.
1. Loosen the 7/16-inch jam nut on the belt width adjuster.
2. Using a 1/8-inch Allen wrench, adjust the threaded set screw as
needed.
NOTE: Turn the set screw in (clockwise) to increase the distance
between the sheaves and out (counterclockwise) to decrease
the distance.
3. Tighten the jam nut.
