Belt Tension & Replacement - Grizzly T10814 Owner's Manual

Belt Tension &
Replacement
The belt transfers power from the motor to the
drive pulley. An improperly tensioned belt will
slip, which quickly causes a loss of power and
may damage the belt. Therefore, it is essential to
properly maintain belt tension.
