7. Loosen the motor bracket bolts shown by the black
arrows in Figure 12.
8. Put the V-belt on the motor pulley, then roll it onto
the cutterhead pulley, as shown in Figure 13.
9. Check the alignment of the pulleys to make sure the
V-belt is straight up and down.
— If the pulleys are aligned, go to Step 13.
— If the pulleys are NOT aligned, follow Steps 10–
12.
10. Remove the V-belt and loosen the motor mount bolts
shown by the white arrows in Figure 12.
11. Shift the motor horizontally as needed to align the
pulleys, and tighten the motor mount bolts.
12. Reinstall the V-belt on the pulleys.
13. Pull down on the motor with one hand to keep ten-
sion on the V-belt, and tighten the motor bracket
bolts with your other hand.
14. Push the center of the V-belt as illustrated in Figure
14, using moderate force. When tensioned correctly,
the deflection should be approximately 1 ⁄
4
".
— If the deflection is outside of this range, then
loosen the motor bracket bolts and repeat Steps

NOTICE
Overly loose V-belts can slip on the pulleys and burn
up or cause poor machine performance. Overly tight
V-belts cause unecessary wear on the motor and
pully bearings, leading to a shortened lifespan.
