WARNING
IS2000Z, IS3000Z, IS3100Z, IS4500Z & S200X
Models:
Use extreme caution when rotating the idler
arm with the breaker bar, due to the increased
tension in the spring as the idler arm is being
rotated. Injury may result if the breaker bar is
prematurely released while the spring is under
tension.
1000Z Series (61" Model), IS2000Z Series (61"
Model), IS3000Z Series & IS3100Z Series:
1. Using a 1/2" breaker bar, place the square end in
the square hole located in the end of the idler arm
(A, Figures 16). Carefully rotate the breaker bar
counter-clockwise, which will relieve the tension
on the belt exerted from the idler arm.
2. Slide the drive belt over the edge of the stationary
idler pulley (B). Carefully release the tension on
the breaker bar. Remove the belt from the right-
hand (discharge side) spindle pulley.
S200X Series:
1. Using a 1/2" breaker bar, place the square end in
the square hole located in the end of the idler arm
(A, Figures 17). Carefully rotate the breaker bar
counter-clockwise, which will relieve the tension
on the belt exerted from the idler arm.
2. Slide the drive belt over the edge of the stationary
idler pulley (B). Carefully release the tension on
the breaker bar. Remove the belt from the right-
hand (discharge side) spindle pulley.
IS4500Z Series:
1. Using a 1/2" breaker bar, place the square end in
the square hole located near the end of the idler
arm (A, Figures 18). Carefully rotate the breaker
bar clockwise, which will relieve the tension on the
belt exerted from the idler arm.
2. Remove the belt from the trim side spindle pulley
(B).
3. Carefully release the tension on the breaker bar.
