Tensioning/Replacing V-Belts - Grizzly G0634XP Owner's Manual

to reduce risk of shock or
accidental startup, always
disconnect machine from
power before adjustments,
maintenance, or service.
tensioning/
replacing v-belts
two v-belts transfer power from the motor to the
cutterhead. to ensure efficient transfer of power
to this system, make sure the v-belts are always
properly tensioned and in good condition.
note: After the first 16 hours of belt life, re-tension
the belts, as they will stretch and seat during this
time.
if the v-belts are worn, cracked, or damaged,
replace them. always replace the v-belts with a
matched set of two, or belt tension may not be
equal among the belts, causing premature belt
failure.
Consider replacing stock belts with power twist
v-belts (see page 41) to reduce vibration and
noise, and increase belt lifespan.
