To adjust the belt tension
1. Remove the belt cover. See
replacement of the belts on page 18 .
2. Loosen the idler pulley nut (A). (Fig. 80)
3. Slide the idler pulley closer to the belt to increase
the belt tension. Slide it away from the belt to
decrease the belt tension.
4. Tighten the idler pulley nut (A).
5. To make sure that the belt is declutched fully
when the auger lever is disengaged, have an
assistant stand 10 feet / 3 meters in front of the
product, on the opposite side of the chute. The
assistant observes the rotation of the auger, and
measures the time it takes for the auger to stop
rotating when the lever is released. If the auger
stops rotating after more than 5 seconds, repeat
the adjustment and slide the idler pulley further
from the belt.
6. When the auger stops rotating after less than 5
seconds, install the belt cover. See
belt cover on page 18 .
