Check drive V-belt tension.
The V-belts are properly tensioned at the factory but after a
few hours of operation they will strech and become loose.
Loose V-belts result in poor saw performance and short belt
life.
• Check the blade drive V-belt tension by plucking the belt
lika a string. The belt should give a long tone rather than
a dull sound.
To tension the belts.
• Open the front cover. Loosen the two horizontal locking
bolts with the blade shaft wrench, raise the gearbox and
engine by using the belt tensioning bolts. Turn both of
these bolts clockwise until V-belts are tight and check the
belt by plucking it again.
• Fasten the two horizontal bolts again.
• Loosen the belt tensioning bolts counterclockwise
approximately 1/16 of a turn.
