BELT ADJUSTMENT 
The belt on your chipper should deflect 3/8” under three pounds of pressure as shown in figure 
1 below.  If it doesn’t, adjust per the following directions. 

 

 

 

Figure 1 

•  Remove belt guard. 
•  Loosen engine bolts. 
•  Tighten or loosen the nut on the belt tensioner until you have the correct tension as 

shown in figure 1. 

•  Retighten engine bolts. 
•  Check alignment of the clutch (item #27, pg 29) with the drive pulley (item #21, pg 29) by 

placing a straightedge across both faces as shown in figure 2.  If adjustment is 
necessary, correct alignment by moving rotor pulley in or out on the rotor shaft.  Do not 
make adjustment by moving the clutch on the engine shaft. 

•  Replace belt guard.
