ADJUSTMENT OF BELT TENSIONER
The belt tensioner controls the tension on the belt from the engine to blower
shaft. The proper tension of the idler should be in the second notch
on the side of the tensioner. Over tightening the belt will shorten the
life of the belt and the machine may not perform to the best of its
ability. To adjust belt tensioner, loosen the bolt holding the tensioner
(A). Bring idler pulley tight to the belt and turn tensioner into belt to
the second notch. Tighten bolt on tensioner.
