ADJUSTING THE BELTS (con’t) 
 
1.The correct tension is achieved when the total up and down play of the small clutch 
belt is approximately ½” and the larger drive belt is approximately 1”. 

 

2. Adjusting the belts:  
 

a.  Turn the two belt tension bolts, located on the outside of 
the drive belt frame plates as indicated in figure 15 until 
approx. ½” of play is present. 
 
b.   Next, using two 17mm wrenches, loosen the axle bolt 
on the rear wheel.  With the axle loose, adjust the rear 
adjuster bolts (figure 16), until there is approx. 1” of total 
play present.  Make sure that the wheel is properly aligned 
with the frame of the powerboard and re-tighten the rear 
wheel axle.  Cautiously ride the powerboard the first time 
to ensure that everything is in proper working order after 
every adjustment.     
 
 
 
 
 

 
Proper care of your powerboard will insure optimal performance and longer life span. 
The following are a few maintenance suggestions that will keep your powerboard
