The tension of the belt should be checked at the time of the weekly engine maintenance and, if necessary,
tensioned as follows:
1. Remove V-belt guard.
2. Loosen counter nut (31).
3. Loosen the fastening screws (32) until the V-belt's take-up
can be shifted without play.
4. Adjust drive belt tension with tensioning nut (33).
5. Tighten the fastening screws (32) and the counter nut (31).
Drive belt replacement
1. Disassemble V-belt guard (above and below) and cutting disc guard.
2. Take tension off V-belts. To do this loosen the counter nut (31), the tensioning nut (33) as well as the fas-
tening screws (32). Only loosen the fastening screws so far that the V-belt's take-up can be moved freely
without play.
3. Loosen the screws (34) at the oval flanges (on both sides) of the cutting shaft.
4. Replace the V-belts.
5. Reassemble cutting shaft (34).
6. Adjust drive belt tension with tensioning nut (33).
7. Reassemble cutting disc and V-belt guards.
