1. Remove the side cover to access the motor.
2. Remove the belt guard to access the drive belts.
3. Loosen the motor adjustor nuts.
4. Remove the drive belts.

6. Re-tension the belts by tightening the top motor adjusting nut. There should be a
3/16" deflection when the belt is pressed with moderate finger pressure. Tighten the
lock nut.
7. The drive belts should be checked after running the machine for approximately 10
hours. The belts bed into the pulleys and will slacken off slightly. If they are not
adjusted, slippage may accrue, and this will cause early belt failure. There should be
a 3/16" deflection when the belt is pressed with moderate finger pressure.
8. Refit the side cover and belt guard.
Note. Your machine is fitted with a multi drive belt system. Always replace all the
belts with a matched set. Never replace only one belt, as this will cause vibration,
excessive ware to bearings and result in a poor work finish.
