Adjusting Belt Tension
1.
Slide motor into original position,
line the motor up with the mark
made earlier on saddle.
2.
Tighten two outside motor
mounting screws enough to hold
the motor in place for checking
pulley and flywheel alignment.
3.
The belt should deflect 3/16” at
midway between the pulley and
the flywheel when a 5 pound
weight is applied at the midway
point.
4.
When proper belt tension is
achieved, tighten all four motor
mounting screws. See Parts
manual for torque specifications.
NOTE: Once the engine pulley has
been moved from its factory set
location, the grooves of the fly-
wheel and pulley must be aligned
to within 1/16” to prevent excessive
belt wear. Verify the alignment by
performing the following Pulley and
Flywheel - Alignment.
