V-Belt Tension & Replacement; Tensioning V-Belt - Grizzly g0602 Owner's Manual

v-belt tension &
replacement
V-Belts stretch and wear with use, so check the
tension on a monthly basis to ensure optimal
power transmission. replace the V-belts if they
become cracked, frayed, or glazed.
on the Model g0602, the low range V-belt ten-
sion is controlled by a tensioner between the
secondary drive pulley (B) and spindle (C) pulley.
the high range V-belt between the spindle (C)
and motor (A) pulleys is tensioned by the motor.
on the Model g0752, V-belt tension is controlled
by a tensioner between the spindle and motor
pulleys.
