Installing V-Belts
1. Disconnect the machine from the power
source, unplug.
2. Remove the lock knob (A, Fig. 4) and belt
guard (B, Fig. 4).
3. Place v-belts onto cutterhead pulley grooves
and through opening in stand.
4. In stand, lossen the motor mount bolts.
Note-DO NOT completely remove the
motor mount bolts.
5. Carefully allow the motor to slide downward
place v-belt onto motor pulley grooves,ten-
sioning the v-belt with the weight of the motor.
(Fig. 5)
6. Check to make sure that motor pulley and
cutterhead pulley are vertically aligned(Fig.5)
the v-belt does not contact the sides of the
opening in the base. If the pulleys are not
aligned, loosen the bolts (A, Fig. 6) on the
motor base and slide the motor until the belt
is aligned. Re-tighten screws.
6. The v-belt is properly tensioned when finger
pressure on the belt half way between the
two pulleys causes 1/2" deflection. If the belt
is too loose, loosen the motor mounting bolts
(Fig. 5) on the mounting plate and push
down on the plate. When belt tension is
correct, re-tighten screws.
7. After two hours of operation, check belt
tension again. Re-tension if necessary.
8. Re-install belt guard and lock knob.
