blades shaft via the PTO.
Blade Drive Belt Tension
The manufacturer’s belt tension is set between 68-
70 hertz (Hz). DO NOT exceed the manufactures
tension settings. NOTE: Over-tensioning the belts
may damage the power-take-off (PTO) unit. Under-
tensioning the belts may cause premature wear
and/or poor saw performance. Squealing belts are
an indication that the belts are loose.
Test the belt tension on a daily basis to ensure best
performance and longest life of belts.
• Touch the end of the sonic tension meter
sensor (Available through Diamond
Products) at the midpoint of the longest
section and strum the belt. Adjust the belts
tension if it is lower than the manufacturers
setting.
