Replacing/Tensioning
Belt
To ensure optimum power transmission from the
motor to the cutterhead, the belt must be in good
condition (free from cracks, fraying, and wear) and
properly tensioned.
Belts and pulleys will be hot after operation.
Allow them to cool before handling.
A small amount of black belt dust at the bot-
tom of the belt cover is normal during the
life of the machine, and does not indicate a
problem with the machine or belt.
