Replacing the cutting unit belt
Replacing the belt on the Combi unit
On these cutting units with “collision-proof” blades, the
blades are driven by one V-belt. Do as follows to
replace the V-belt:
1. Dismantle the cutting unit. See “Side shifting the
cutting unit” on page 96.
2. Remove the screws for the covers. Lift off the
protective covers from over the belts.
3. Pry off the old belt from the belt pulleys. Use a pry
bar if necessary to offload the spring and release
the belt tension.
WARNING:
Relieving the spring
Protect your hands with gloves when working with
the blades. There is a risk of crush injuries when
working with the belt.
