7. If the tension is not within the specified Limits, do the following tension adjustment
steps to bring the tension within specification:
a. Remove the belt tension gauge.
IMPORTANT: The belt tension gauge must be removed while making
tension adjustments or the measurement will be invalid.
b. Make a small incremental adjustment to the 1/2" hex head Second Stage Belt
Tensioner bolt as needed (loosen or tighten) to bring the belt tension into spe-
cification.

tension changes per adjustment. Be careful to NOT over tension the
belt, which could result in damaging the belt or pulley hardware.
