Replacing and adjusting the centre belt
The centre belt runs between the engine shaft and the
gearbox.
• Remove the cutter. (only when replacing belt)
• Unscrew the adjuster screws a few turns.
• Replace the belt with a new one and tighten the
adjustment screws a little. (only when replacing belt)
• Adjust the belt by moving the gear forwards or
backwards.
• The belt should be stretched so that it can move 6-
10mm in the centre. That corresponds to a pull of
approx. 3 kg. Use a fishing scale to check.
• Tighten the adjustment screws properly. (3 Nm)
• Check the drive operation, as adjustment of the gear
affects the belt tension in the gearbox.
