4.3 Drive Belt (Fig.3)
On new machines or aer installing a new belt, check belt tension aer first 20 hours of
operation. Check and adjust belt every 50 hours thereaer.
To change the belt:
4.3.1 Remove the beltguard and remove the four hex nuts (a) holding pulley halves (b)
together. Remove outer pulley half and remove belt.
4.3.2 Install new belt on pulley and secure pulley halves together with hex nuts. Adjust
tension on belt by adding or removing spacers (c) between pulley halves. The fewer
spacers used between pulley halves, the tighter the belt will be. Three spacers with new
belts should provide the correct tension. Belt deflection should be 6-10 mm (1/4-3/8"),
checked half way between the clutch pulley and the exciter pulley (d). Place unused
spacers on outside of pulley.
4.3.3 Replace beltguard.
4.4 Exciter Lubrication (Fig. 4)
The exciter assembly is a self-contained, sealed unit. The bearings are lubricated using
automatic transmission fluid (see Technical Data for type). Change fluid once every year
or 300 hours of operation. When changing fluid, replace O-ring (a).
