Check that the concrete cutter engine is turned off and cool before attempting to change the V-belt.
Changing the V-belt while the cutter is still hot or operating will cause injury.
1. Remove the four Bolts (02) and lift off the Belt Cover (01).
2. Remove the V-Belts.
3. Place the new V-Belts (03) first on the Lower Pulley (04) and then on the Upper Pulley (05). Use
the 36mm wrench (06) and turn it clockwise.
4. Check that the amount of flex in the V-Belts midway between the pulleys is 3/8" by pressing down
on the belt with your finger.
If belt tension is not correct, adjust the tension by loosening the bolts at the engine base and
sliding the engine in the base plate slots to correctly tighten the belts, then retightening the bolts.
5. Replace the Belt Cover (01) and the four Bolts (02).
