proper tensioning of the spindle V-belt is auto-
matically set when you push the belt tensioning
lever back (see figure 90).
to replace the spindle V-belt with a new one you
must remove the spindle assembly from the lathe.
this option is difficult and time consuming.
We recommend the alternative solution of just
cutting the old V-belt to remove it, then replacing
it with a power twist V-Belt.
