ADJUSTING THE BELTS (con’t)
1.The correct tension is achieved when the total up and down play of the small clutch
belt is approximately ½” and the larger drive belt is approximately 1”.
2. Adjusting the belts:
a. Turn the two belt tension bolts, located on the outside of
the drive belt frame plates as indicated in figure 15 until
approx. ½” of play is present.
b. Next, using two 17mm wrenches, loosen the axle bolt
on the rear wheel. With the axle loose, adjust the rear
adjuster bolts (figure 16), until there is approx. 1” of total
play present. Make sure that the wheel is properly aligned
with the frame of the powerboard and re-tighten the rear
wheel axle. Cautiously ride the powerboard the first time
to ensure that everything is in proper working order after
every adjustment.
