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 (Figure 2).Tension is proper if the
belt bends about 10mm when depressed strongly with finger between shafts. Loose or worn V-belts reduce power
transmission efficiency, cause weak compaction and reduces the life ofthe belt itself.

CAUTION:
Whenever the compactor's vibration becomes weak or lost during normal opera-
tion regardless of operation hours, check the V-belt and clutch immediately.
Replacing the V-belt
Remove the upper and lower belt covers, Engage an offset wrench (13mm) or the
like to vibrator pulley (Lower)fastening bolt. Engage waste cloth or the like at mid-
way of V-belt on the left side and while pulling it back strongly, rotate the offset
wrench clockwise so that the V-belt will come off.
Reinstalling the V-belt
Engage V-belt to the lower vibrator pulley and push the V-belt to the left side of upper clutch and, in the same manner
as in removal, rotate offset wrench clockwise so that the V-belt goes back on.
Checking Clutch
Check the clutch simultaneously with V-belt checking. With belt removed, check outer drum of the clutch for seizure
and "V' groove for wear or damage with your eyes. Clean the "V" groove as necessary. Wear of lining or shoe should be
checked with running check. If the shoe is worn, power transmission becomes deficient and slipping will result.
