Neil_Asheville 114 Report post Posted March 19, 2006 Would someone be kind enough to tell me how to change belts on this machine? I couldn't see how to release tension. I thought maybe the hex nuts on the pump-end pulley came off and the whole pulley assembly slid off the shaft. This one's still got some hours left I just need to pick up a spare and know how 'when' it does blow. Thanks! Tarheels....:lgtear: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Russ Johnson 141 Report post Posted March 20, 2006 Most of the time there are elongated holes in the pump rails. The bolts holding these need to be loosened. Many units have tensioners attached to the front of the rails by bolts which can be adjusted. Loosen the pump to the point that the belt goes on easily, then tighten to approximately 1/4" free play mid-pulleys. Thghten the pump bolts, and you're done. You can also cheat and roll the belt over the edge of the pulley. Just make sure it doesn't twist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
