    5. If needed, proceed to Adjusting the Belt Tension. Otherwise, install the side panel and secure it with the nuts (Figure 37).

    Adjusting the Belt Tension

    Depending on the intensity of operation, wear on the driveline can cause the V-belts to slip. Tighten the V-belts when this occurs.

    1. Park the machine on a level surface, engage the parking brake, shut off the engine, and remove the key from the traction unit.

    2. Secure the attachment from movement.

    3. Remove the nuts and side panel.
