Belt Replacement
When replacing a drive belt, the procedure is the same as above other than the tensioner
will need to be loosened enough to allow removal of the old belt and subsequent fitment of
the new one.
Note: When installing a new belt, its tension should be re-checked after an initial hour or
so of operation; if necessary, re-tension the belt to the correct setting.
