Replacing Poly Chain® Belt
Loosen Poly Chain® belt by moving
jackshaft bearings. MARK THE
BEARINGS SO THAT YOU KNOW
HOW THEY ARE POSITIONED ON
THE JACKSHAFT PLATE. Loosen bolts
on bearing closest to Poly Chain® guard and
remove bolts on the bearing closest to engine
belt guard so that side of the jackshaft may
be raised to remove Poly Chain® belt.
Loosen the jam bolts in the back and move
the bearings back.
Belt should be disengaged. If it isn’t push
the engagement lever back toward the cutter
wheel as far as it will go. Engine slide
should lock automatically when the belt is
disengaged; check to make sure it does. (See
Machine Controls section for engine slide
lock.)
Remove old belt and replace with new one.
Do not pry new belt over sprockets since
this can break the fibers in the Poly
Chain
® belt.
