1. DRIVE BELTS

Belts should be checked for frayed areas, cracks and general wear. Always
replace belts in a set, even though only one belt is defective. Tension belts so
that 25 lbs. (firm thumb pressure) midway between pulleys will deflect the
belts 1/2 to 3/4 inch for the first check. Insure that all adjustment/mounting
bolts are tight. Recheck belt tension after 1/2 hour or 15 miles of operation.
Maintain later adjustment at 7/8 inch deflection.

following checks.
