MAINTENANCE
1. WARNING! Never perform any services or maintenance on the Mortar Mixer while it is running.
Before performing any inspection, maintenance, and cleaning, turn off the Engine and disconnect the Spark
Plug Wire from the Spark Plug to prevent accidental starting. Then, allow the Engine to completely cool.
2. Before each use, inspect the general condition of the Mortar Mixer. Check for loose bolts and nuts,
misalignment, binding of moving parts, loose or broken parts, Engine problems, and any other condition
that may affect the safe operation of the Mortar Mixer. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, turn off the
Mortar Mixer immediately and have the problem corrected before further use. Do not use damaged
equipment.
3. To change the V-Belts (47, 48), loosen the four Hex Bolts located at the base of the Engine. Slide the
Engine to the left to loosen the V-Belts. Then, remove the V-Belts as shown in the following illustration.
Replace the old V-Belts with new V-Belts (types A890 and A950). Then slide the Engine to the right to
tighten the V-Belts to the proper tension. Correct tension is obtained when there is approximately 1/4”
deflection of the V-Belts at the center span of the Pulleys (40, 41 and 49, 50). Do not over-tension. Then,
retighten the four Hex Bolts located at the base of the Engine. (See Figure F.)
