5.1.4 Belts. Service Interval: 50 Hours.
a) Inspect the belt position on the idler arm.
The idler arm may become bent during use or transport. A bent idler arm could
cause the belt to jump off of the idler and be damaged.
1) Make sure the belt cover is installed and run the blower for one to two minutes.
2) Shut off the deck drive, stop engine and wait for all moving parts
to stop. Remove key. Remove the belt cover and check to make sure
that the belt is riding near the center of the flat idler on the idler arm.
3) If the belt is not riding near the center of the idler, remove the blower,
and bend the idler arm slightly.
4) Reinstall the blower and belt cover and repeat steps 1-3 until the belt is
positioned near the center of the idler.
b) Inspect the belt for damage or wear. Replace belt with one of the following.

5.2 ADJUSTMENTS
Your Ultra Vac QDS was adjusted at the factory to operate properly. However, there are
two basic adjustments that can be made, should your unit require them:
3.7.1 Door closing: The closing of the door is controlled by the two hinge links (Figure
9 – A). The length of the hinge links can be changed to provide complete closing
of the door and reasonable force on the handle to latch or unlatch the door.
Lengthen the links to reduce the force. Shorten the links to increase the force.
The left and right sides must be approximately equal. With the door closed, both
links should be slightly tight to minimize rattling.
3.7.2 Door opening: After adjusting the hinge links for door closing, the hinge stops
(Figure 9 – B) can be adjusted to obtain maximum door opening. The stop plates
should be adjusted so that the door link contacts them when the upper tube of the
door frame is within .25” (6.4 mm) ± .125” (3.2 mm) from the lower lip of the
molded hood. Both left and right stops must make contact when the door link arm
is at this position.
