Adjusting The Belts - BLADEZ PB-SE802 Handbook

ADJUSTING THE BELTS

The belts will come adjusted from the factory. However, it may be necessary to
adjust the pulleys from time to time. The belts must be well aligned onto the pulleys
otherwise they may start to rub and chafe, which will result in shortened belt life.
How tight should the belt be?
If the belt is skipping or jumping on the pulley teeth, this is to loose and
may be harmful.
If the belt is making a humming sound when the wheel it turning, this is to
tight and may cause the belt to snap.
The correct tension is achieved by adjusting the belt from its loose position
to when it becomes lightly tense.
To adjust the head unit:
1. Rotate the handle bar as far right as it
will go to expose the HEAD UNIT (Fig.
13).
2. Using a large adjustable wrench, gently
turn the BEARING LOCK clockwise to
tighten. * DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN OR
IT WILL DAMAGE THE BEARINGS
To tighten the belts:
1. Open the belt cover.
2. Rotate the rear wheel to assess the
alignment of the belts.
Adjust the small belt first.
3. Loosen the tensioned lock nut under the
clutch first.
4. Adjust the outer and inner adjuster
screws acutely together, by making
minor adjustments one at a time. (Fig.
14). After each adjustment rotate the
rear wheel to insure that the belt is
aligned.
Then adjust the large belt.
5. Slightly loosen the two Axle bolts on
both sides of the rear wheel. (Fig. 15).
Then slowly adjust the two adjusting
screws on each side of the rear tire (Fig.
16) until belt reached the proper tension.
