MAINTENANCE
ADJUSTING
With the automatic belt tensioner, no adjustment is required.
REPLACEMENT
To replace the drive belt, place a 3/8 in. drive rachet (2) in the 3/8
in. square drive hole in the belt tensioner. Push the rachet "UP" to
loosen the tensioner. Remove the old belt (1). Inspect belt ten-
sioner. The tensioner pulley should spin freely with no rough
spots detected under hand pressure. Install the new belt.

from the belt. Pivoting in the wrong direction can result in damage
to the belt tensioner.
