Checking The Belt Tension - Eliet Major Anleitung

• When sharpening, rub the grindstone or the angle grinder along the bevelled
cutting edge. Ensure the cutting edge keeps the same angle. The top of the blade
endures the heaviest load during shredding. This should therefore be sharpened
as little as possible so that it is not weakened. Correct and timely sharpening of
the blades will extend their operating life
For information:
As soon as the top of the
cutting edge becomes
blunt, the blades have
reached the end of their
working life and they
should be replaced or
turned.
• Once sharpened all items should be reassembled in their original position.
Mounting the screen can be facilitated by applying some grease on the sliding
pins.

11.4.5 Checking the belt tension

Warning:
Only check the belt tension once the engine has been switched off.
Disconnect the spark plug cap. Pull the plug from the wall socket.
The drive guard contains a black round cap.
•
This should be pulled out of the hole.
• Through the opening the V-belt can clearly be seen. If the belt is pressed down
using your thumb (applied pressure is ± 7,5 kg) it should only move by 1 cm.
If this is the case, the belt is sufficiently tensioned.
• Replace the rubber cap in the opening once the belt tension has been checked.
If the belt tension appears to be too slack or too tight, it should be adjusted. If the
•
belt tension is too slack, it will bang against the protective cap.
During the running-in period, a new belt will expand slightly. It is therefore
•
advisable to adjust the belt after it has been operating for 10 hours.
