CAUTION:
NEVER attempt to check the V-belt with the engine running.
Severe injury can occur if your hand gets caught between the
V-belt and the clutch. Always use safety gloves.
Checking and Replacing the V-belt and Clutch
After 200 hours of operation, remove the upper belt cover to check the V-belt
tension . Tension is proper if the belt bends about 10mm when depressed
strongly with finger between shafts. Loose or worn V-belts reduces power
transmission efficiency, causing weak compaction and reduces the life of the
belt itself.
CAUTION:
Whenever the compactor’s vibration becomes weak or lost
during normal operation regardless of operation hours, check
the V-belt and clutch immediately.
