HOW TO INSTALL THE DRIVE BELT
Disconnect the machine from the power source!
1. Lift the motor to remove the foam packing block.
2. While lifting the motor (A) Fig. 5, place a 10" - 12" long
piece of 2x4 under the motor (B) Fig. 8 to prop up the
motor.
3. Place the grooved belt (C) Fig. 6 on the grooved pulley
located behind the motor (Fig. 7) and the pulley directly
above, located on the opposite end of the blade arbor.
Ensure that the grooves of the belt completely make contact
with the grooves in these pulleys.

The weight of the motor will provide the correct tension
on the belt.
