ADJUSTMENTS ADJUSTMENT OF BELT TENSIONER The belt tensioner controls the tension on the belt from the engine to blower shaft. The proper tension of the idler should be in the second notch on the side of the tensioner. Over tightening the belt will shorten the life of the belt and the machine may not perform to the best of its ability.
TAILGATE ADJUSTMENT VAC TAILGATE LEVELING If the tailgate is not sitting level against the hopper it can be leveled by loosening the inch Hex Bolts that hold the pivot bracket to the upper lift arms then rotate the pivot brackets until tailgate level then tighten. Once it is level it must be readjusted using steps 1, 2 and 3.
