2. GAS OPTION ONLY:
After tensioning the drive belt, check the throttle linkage and adjust
if necessary.
NOTE:
With the clutch handle engaged, the throttle linkage should move the throttle lever
to full speed. To adjust, loosen the throttle linkage adjustment nuts and slide the throttle
linkage down. Retighten the screw.
Periodically check the drive belt for wear. Replace any damaged or worn belts as needed.
Adjust the drive belt support
The drive belt support is designed to extend belt life. The bracket should be adjusted to
NOT touch the drive belt when the clutch handle is engaged (down position), AND to hold
the drive belt away from the engine pulley when the clutch handle is disengaged (up posi-
tion).
Adjust the drive belt support as needed. Depending on your engine model, the drive belt
support may be located near the drive wheel or drive pulley.
1.
Ensure the power is off.
2.
Loosen the adjustment bolt.
3.
Position the bracket so that the rod is close to, but does not touch, the drive belt with the
clutch handle engaged. This is approximately 1/8-1/16” (3-1.5mm).
4.
Retighten the adjustment bolt 25-27 pound feet (34-37 newton meters).

Hydraulic System
WARNING!
Disconnect and lockout power before performing any ser-
vice to the electrical system. For battery-powered equipment, discon-
nect the negative battery terminal cable. For AC-powered equipment,
follow the lockout procedure provided in the safety section (
). Failure to do so may result in injury and/or electrical system
damage.
1.
Check the hydraulic fluid level every fifty hours of operation. Add fluid as necessary. The
level in the hydraulic pump should be 3/4" (19mm) from the top with all cylinders col-
lapsed.
If humidity is a problem or the mill is used outside in humid weather, drain and replace two
quarts (.95 liters) of fluid every six months. This will drain any accumulated water and
help prevent pump failure due to water ingestion. It also will prevent excessive fluid wear
