PAGE 38 — STOW CUTTER 3 CE SAW — PARTS & OPERATION MANUAL — REV. #5 (09/22/06)
Drive V-Belt Check
The V-Belts of the Cutter 3 CE saw have been factory set utilizing
precision standards. Operating the saw with less than the
specified number of V-belts (See Table 6), or belts that are
slipping
or are over-tensioned will significantly diminish the
performance of the saw, and may cause damage to the blade.
Drive V-Belt(s) Replacement & Tension Adjustments
Reference Pointers and Covers Assembly, Blade Shaft Assembly,
and Engine Mount Assembly for this operation.
1. Remove the
Belt Guard
(Pointers and Covers Assy., item
15), then loosen the tension of the V-Belts
2. Loosen the (4) 1-1/2” (38.1 mm) HHC screws (Engine Mount
Assy., item 5).
3. Loosen and back-off the
Engine Mount Carriage Bolt
