3. Check V-belt tension (Figure 17) 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” (10 mm) - 1/2” (13 mm).

MQ SP2 SLAB SAW — INSPECTION - BELTS & WATER TANK
Water Tank
The SP2 Slab Saw is equipped with a removable 5-gallon on-
board water tank fitted in the top of the console which can be
connected to the brass hose fitting on the rear of the operators
console (Figure 18).
Before using the water tank, ensure it is filled to capacity and
connected to the hose fitting to provide lubrication during cutting.
An external water source can also be connected to the SP2 for
extended wet cutting operations.

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
the following V-belt part numbers listed in Table 5.
