Wilton 7015 User Manual

Referring to Figures 22 and 23: 

1.  Set the arm at the full horizontal position. 

2.  Open the drive belt cover to expose the V-belt

and pulleys.

3. Loosen 

the 

belt tension adjust knob located in 

the rear under the motor (see Figure 23 for knob 
direction). Lift the motor upward to loosen the 
belt.

4. Remove 

the 

worn 

V-belt.

5.  Put the replacement V-belt in the pulley position 

for the speed you require (refer to the Blade 
Speeds section on page 9). 

6.  Tighten the V-belt by turning the belt tension 

adjust knob (see Figure 23). The belt must be 
secure enough so it does not slip when the 
machine is running. Do not over tighten. This will 
cause premature wear on belt and pulley 
bearings. 

7. Reinstall 

drive 

belt cover and install knob. 

Referring to Figure 24: 

1.  Remove the drive V-belt (see Changing the 

Drive Motor Belt above).

2.  Open the motor junction box and disconnect the 

power cord wires from their terminals. 

3. Remove four screws and washers (A) that 

secure the motor (B) to the mounting plate (C). 

4.  Installation of a new motor is a reversal of the 

above steps. Also, complete steps 6 through 8 in 
Changing Blade Speed (page 9) to complete 
tensioning of the V-belt to the correct tension — 
use a straight edge to be certain the motor 
pulley is correctly aligned with the speed reducer 
pulley.
