18” CHIPPER SERVICE

BELTS

79

THE ENGINE MUST BE OFF AND

IGNITION KEY REMOVED BEFORE

CHECKING BELT TENSION. ALL

PARTS MUST BE COMPLETELY

STOPPED. THE CLUTCH MUST BE

DISENGAGED.

• Insert a screwdriver or metal bar (a

metal ruler would be good) through the

slot to check belt tension.

• Make a mark on the screwdriver or

metal when it touches the belts without

any force applied and then apply force

and make another mark.

• Measure the distance between the two

marks. If the measurement is more than

11/16", the belts tension needs to be

adjusted. If the measurement is much

less than 11/16", the belts tension is too

tight. Check a couple of different spots

because there are two belts.

• Do not over tighten the engine belts.

Overly tight belts will cause damage to

PTO/clutch bearings and to cutter disk

bearings.

ADJUST BELT TENSION

• There are four bolts (3/4”-10) mounting

the engine to the frame.

• There are two eyebolts (1”-8) used for

adjusting tension. Use the jam nuts at

the end of the bolts to pull the engine

toward the right side of the chipper and

tighten the belt tension. Use the inside

jam nuts to loosen belt tension and to

remove the belts by pushing the engine

back toward the left side of the chipper.

• Loosen all four of the engine mount

bolts enough to be able to move the

engine but DO NOT remove the bolts.

The bolts are secured through a block

under the frame and will require only

one wrench to loosen.
