Remove the tension in the blade by turning the
“T” handle in the counter-clockwise direction and then
open the blade guard cover. The blade should now be loose and free to pull straight out the
front.
To change the drive side belt, loosen the four bolts that secure the engine to the engine mount
using a 16mm wrench.
Now that the engine is free to slide on the engine mounting plate, turn the 16mm nut on the horizontal
stud in the counter-clockwise direction. This will allow the engine to move and will also take the tension
off of the belt. The old belt can be removed and the new belt can be installed. Tension the new belt and
refer to the
BELT TENSION
instructions described in the sawmill set up section of the manual.
The follower belt can now be changed by simply pulling it off and installing the new one. The blade
can now be re-installed, guards closed and proper blade tension set.
*Note that blade tracking is likely to change and need adjusting when new belts are
installed. Refer t
o “BLADE TRACKING” for more information.*
