To tighten the cutter belt on a DR PREMIER 26", follow these steps:

1. Locate the Trimmer Head Cable along the left handlebar.
2. Find the In-Line Adjuster on the cable.
3. Hold the hex flat sections of the adjuster.
4. Rotate the body of the adjuster clockwise (as you look down on the cable) to increase tension.
5. If the adjuster is turned all the way and more tension is needed, replace the belt.
6. After installing a new belt, adjust the In-Line Adjuster all the way in.
7. Engage the Bail Bar 10 times, holding it for 3 seconds each time to wear in the belt.
