Adjusting the drive belt
The drive belt is fully
enclosed and well protected
from dust, dirt and
mechanical effects during
the cutting process.
To tension the drive belt,
slightly loosen the nuts (A),
which secure the cutting
head and belt guard.
Turn the tensioning screw
so that the nut (B) is located
directly under the arrow on
the cover. Shake the head
to ensure the spring can
tension the belt. The belt
now automatically has the
right tension.
Tighten the nuts that hold
the cutting head.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION! A new drive belt should be
tensioned after using one or two tanks of fuel.
