BELT -Check that the belt is tensioned properly. If the belt skids it will be necessary to tighten the belt. -Remove the side covers (44) and loosen the nuts a maximum of two turns Fig.7 -Tighten the small nuts with a spanner. Make sure that the nut rotates the same number of turns on both sides of the machine (generally 2 turns will be sufficient) otherwise the drive sprocket might become skewed, creating a lot more noise and making it possible for the belt to fall off. -Tighten up nuts again and put the side covers (44) back in their place. -Whenever the tension setting on the machine is adjusted, readjust the brakes as well.
