3. Check V-belt tension (Figure 15) by using a tensionmeter
(6.0 - 9.0 lbs) against the inside belt at a mid point between
the two pulleys, or by deflecting the center belt at a mid point
3/8” (10mm) - 1/2” (13mm).

4. DO NOT over or under tension the V-belts. Severe damage
can occur to the saw and engine crank shaft if the belts are
over tensioned. A decrease of power to the blade and poor
performance will result if the belts are under tensioned (loose
on pulleys).
5. If the V-belts becomes worn or loose, replace them by using
V-belt part number 15082.
