CONDITIONER BELT
The conditioner belt must be properly tensioned at all
times to prevent excessive slipping. A loose belt may
cause conditioner rolls to wrap or plug.
Check the belt tension each day for the first few days.
Check weekly thereafter.

and remove the key. Wait for all movement to
stop before leaving operator’s position. Never
adjust, lubricate, clean or unplug machine with
the engine running. Failure to comply could
result in death or serious injury.
