17.5.2 Tensioning the V-Belt

The V-belt is tensioned by moving the engine block on the vibratory plate.
1. Remove the V-Belt protection cover.
2. Loosen the four nuts securing the motor unit to the base plate until the motor can be moved
forward on the base plate.
Steps 3 and 4 only for ZI-RPE90C
3. Loosen the nut (M) to adjust the motor position with the screw (S).
a. Tighten the screw (S) (turn to the right) = tighten the belt.
b. Loosen the screw (S) (turn to the left) = Loosen the belt.
4. Once the belt has the correct tension, retighten the four nuts securing the motor unit to the
base plate and retighten the motor position adjustment screw using the nut (M).
5. Finally, retighten the V-belt protection cover.

17.5.3 Changing the V-belt

1. Loosen the V-belt and move it to the maximum foremost position.
2. Then pull over the V-belt over the pulleys.
3. Clean the drive wheels including the V-groove and the inside of the protective cover.
4. Install the new V-belt and tension the V-belt again.
5. Finally, reattach the V-belt protective cover.

17.5.4 Checking the clutch

Check the clutch at the same time as the V-belt. With the belt removed, visually check the outside
for seizure and the "V" groove for wear and damage. Clean the V-groove as required. If the clutch
shoe is worn, the power transmission becomes insufficient.
