Proper belt tension is critical to good performance. After 1/2
hour of operation, all cables may have to be adjusted due to
initial stretch. Thereafter, check tension after every 10 hours of
operation. Proper tension is achieved when the beehive spring
extends 1/8” - 1/4” when drive lever is engaged.
To increase belt tension do as follows:
1. Loosen upper jam nut. SEE FIGURE 5
