Checking the Timing Belt
At least once every 3 weeks, while changing all of the Cutter Blades, check the Timing Belt by
doing the following:
With the Cutter Assembly removed from the LX-150, check the condition of the Timing
Belt. Order a replacement at the first sign of wear.
WARNING: Failure to replace a worn Timing Belt can impair system
performance, can damage the equipment, and can result in injury.
Verify proper tension on the Timing Belt by verifying that rotating the Cutter Drive Pulley
turns all Cutter Blades in unison, and by tugging gently outward on it.
Adjust the Timing Belt if needed by moving the position of the Tension Adjustment
Wheel. The tension on the Timing Belt should always be tight enough to ensure
consistently precise rotation of the Cutter Blades.
Reinstall the Cutter Assembly (see “Installing the Cutter Assembly” on page 53).
After reinstalling the Cutter Assembly, ensure proper tension on the Cutter Drive Belt
(see “
Checking the Cutter Drive Belt” on page 165).
