Maintenance; General; Cleaning; Inspecting And Adjusting The Drive Belt - Husqvarna K 3000 Cut-n-Break Operator's Manual

General

WARNING! Inspection and/or
!
maintenance should be carried out with
the motor switched off and the plug
disconnected.

Cleaning

WARNING! Do not use a high pressure
!
washer when rinsing the inside of the
machine.
The machine can withstand taking in damp air and
splashes during the cutting process. Clean water does
not affect the machine's function.
When cutting materials such as concrete or brick, which
can contain salt, you must rinse the machine after the
work is finished. The cleaning reduces the risk for
accretions building up inside the engine, which can cause
leakage current between electric components, which in
turn can cause the ground fault circuit interrupter to turn
off without intention.
• Clean the machine daily by rinsing it with clean water
after the work is finished.
• Place the machine with the rear handle facing
upwards. Rinse the air intakes at the rear handle with
clean water. The water will run out through the front air
outlets.
• Connect the plug and run the engine dry for approx.
30 sec in order to speed up the drying of the engine.
Inspecting and adjusting the drive
belt
• The drive belt is fully enclosed and well-protected
from dust, dirt and mechanical damage when cutting.

MAINTENANCE

Check the tension of the drive belt
• Stick a screwdriver in the notch.
• A correctly adjusted drive belt should have about 5
mm of movement.
Tighten the drive belt
• Loosen the two nuts.
• Loosen the clamping bolt.
• Turn the eccentric plate anti-clockwise with a
screwdriver or a torx driver. This tightens the drive belt
by pushing the bar forwards.
• Tighten the nuts.
• Screw the bolt tight. Hold still the eccentric plate so
that it doesn't move along when you tighten the
screws.
IMPORTANT! A new drive belt shall be tightened once
after 30-60 minutes operation.
