INTRODUCTION
About Your New Planer
The SHOP FOX® Model W1723 and W1724 15" Planers have been specially designed to provide many
years of trouble free service, and the consistent ability to hold fine adjustment settings board-after-
board all day long. These planers have a stationary table and a moveable headstock, which
makes readjusting accessory infeed and outfeed support-table height unnecessary. The Model
W1723 has a three-knife cutterhead driven by a 3 HP thermally-protected motor and triple V-
belts, which also drive infeed and outfeed rollers with a two-speed oil-lubricated gearbox.
The Model W1724 has a spiral cutterhead.
The Model W1723 is mounted on an open base and uses three straight knives. The Model W1724
is mounted on a cabinet style base and uses three spiral knives. The spiral knives and cutterhead
cut wood with a shearing action, giving the planer quieter operation and smoother cuts with less
tear-out on difficult lumber. Since the spiral knives are self-indexing for the correct knife
height, manually setting the knives with a jig is a task of the past. Refer to Specifications on Page
3 for further details.
Either planer will be a dependable champion in any shop for years to come!

FAILURE TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS BELOW WILL
RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, WILL
result in death or serious injury.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, COULD
result in death or serious injury.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, MAY
result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert against
unsafe practices.
This symbol is used to alert the user to useful information about proper
operation of the equipment.
NOTICE
1. Thoroughly read the instruction manual before operating your machine. Learn the applications,
limitations and potential hazards of this machine. Keep manual in a safe, convenient place for
future reference.
2. Keep work area clean and well lighted. Clutter and inadequate lighting invite potential hazards.
3. Ground all tools. If a machine is equipped with a three-prong plug, it must be plugged into a
three-hole electrical outlet or grounded extension cord. If using an adapter to aid in

Additional Safety Instructions for Planers
READ and understand this
entire instruction manual
before using this machine.
Serious personal injury
may occur if safety and
operational information is
USE this and other machinery with caution
and respect, and always consider safety
first, as it applies to your individual working
conditions. Remember, no list of safety
guidelines can be complete, and every shop
environment is different. Failure to follow
guidelines can result in serious personal
injury, damage to equipment or poor work
results.
not
understood
and
followed. DO NOT risk
your safety by not reading!
1. Always make sure the planer is on firm ground and is stable before operating. Never use the
planer if it wobbles or is unstable.
2. Always inspect the workpiece before running it through the planer. Stock with loose knots, nails,
staples, dirt or other foreign objects should be rejected from use or corrected by eliminating the
condition that makes it questionable.
3. Always make sure that all components of the planer are adjusted to their proper specifications
before planing stock.
4. Always use the help of another person or some type of support fixture when planing long stock.
5. Never stand behind the workpiece when you are feeding it into the planer; the workpiece could
possibly kick back and be thrown in the direction from which it came.
6. Never operate the planer if knives are dull or damaged. Sharp knives are safer and produce better
final results.
7. Never process any material through the planer other than wood. This planer is designed for wood
only!
8. Always take multiple light cuts rather than excessively deep cuts.
9. Never attempt to free a stalled workpiece while the planer is connected to a power source.
10. Never reach inside the planer or open the top cover while the planer is connected to a power
source.
11. Never plane wood that is less than 8" long or less than 3⁄16" thick.
12. Always wear hearing protection when operating the planer.

ELECTRICAL
220V Operation
The motor supplied with your new planer is
rated at 3 HP and will draw approximately 18
amps during 220 volt operation. When
choosing an outlet for this machine, we
recommend using a NEMA 6-20 plug and
receptacle with a 20 amp circuit breaker or
fuse. Keep in mind that a circuit being used by
other machines or tools at the same time will
add to the total load being applied to the
circuit. Add up the load ratings of all machines
on the circuit. If this number exceeds the
rating of the circuit breaker, fuse or wires,
use a different circuit.
NOTICE
NEVER replace the circuit breaker with one
rated at a higher amperage or damage to the
circuit may occur.
This equipment must be
grounded. Verify that any
existing electrical outlet and
circuit you intend to plug
into is actually grounded.
Under no circumstances
should the grounding pin
from any three-pronged plug
be removed. Serious injury
may occur.
Extension Cords
We do not recommend using an extension cord
for 220V equipment. Instead, arrange the
placement of your machinery and installed
wiring to eliminate the need for extension
cords. If you must use an extension cord, make
sure it is rated Standard Service (grade S) and
capable of handling an 18 amp load. The
extension cord must always contain a ground
wire and plug pin. Be sure to ask an expert
about the correct gauge to use with your
desired cord length. Always repair or replace
extension cords when they become worn or
damaged.
6-30P
6-30R
Figure 1. NEMA 6-20 plug and outlet.
Grounding
This machine must be grounded! The electrical
cord supplied with your planer does not come
with a 220 volt plug. Install a NEMA 6-20 plug
and outlet (See Figure 1) with a ground pin. If
your outlet does not accommodate a ground
pin, have a ground circuit installed by a
qualified electrician or have an appropriate
adapter installed and grounded properly. An
adapter with a grounding wire does not
guarantee the machine will be grounded. A
ground source must be verified.

Floor Load: Your planer represents a large
weight load in a small footprint. Most
commercial floors are suitable for the
planer. Some residential floors may require
additional bracing to support both machine
and operator.
The table and other unpainted parts of your
planer are coated with a waxy grease that
protects them from corrosion during shipment.
Clean this grease off with a solvent cleaner or
citrus-based degreaser. DO NOT use chlorine-
based solvents—if you happen to splash some
onto a painted surface, you will ruin the finish.
Working Clearances: Consider existing and
anticipated needs, size of material to be
processed through each machine, and
space for auxiliary stands, work tables or
other machinery when establishing a
location for your planer.
NEVER use gasoline or
other petroleum-based
solvents to clean with.
Lighting and Outlets: Lighting should be
bright enough to eliminate shadow and
prevent eye strain. Electrical circuits
should be dedicated or large enough to
handle amperage requirements. Outlets
should be located near each machine so
power or extension cords are clear of high-
traffic areas. Observe local electrical
codes for proper installation of new
lighting, outlets, or circuits.

ADJUSTMENTS
Planer Overview
Take the time to familiarize yourself with the
controls of your new planer. While the Model
W1724 Planer is shown in Figure 11, all controls
are the same for the Model W1723 Planer. The
controls will be frequently mentioned throughout
this instruction manual. The better you know
your machine, the better you can make it
perform.
WEAR thick gloves and use
extreme caution when
working
near
cutting
surfaces. Planer knives are
dangerously sharp! Failure
to exercise care while
working near knives could
result in severe injury.
As with all precision machinery, adjustments to
the planer require very close tolerances. The
adjustments described in this section have a
basic factory setting. However, due to storage
and shipping, it may be necessary for you to
fine-tune these adjustments in the same order as
presented in this manual, or your planing results
will be compromised. To achieve exact results,
use a dial indicator or a Rotacator® (refer to
Planer Accessories on Pages 34 and 35).
NEVER connect power to
the
machine
while
performing adjustments.
Failure to follow this
warning may result in
serious personal injury.
Once you set up the planer correctly, you will
enjoy stable machine settings and excellent
planing results for a long time.

Cutterhead Alignment
The most critical adjustments made on your
new planer are dependent on the cutterhead
body being parallel to the table. Because of
this alignment, checking the table is the first
step to establishing an accurate planer.
Table
Roller
Setscrew
There are two dimensions you should be
concerned about when checking/aligning the
table—the cutterhead casting should be
parallel to the table from front-to-back, and
the cutterhead should be parallel with the
table from side-to-side.
Eccentric
The cutterhead casting and the cutterhead
body has been pre-set at the factory, but it is
a good idea to check any machine thoroughly
before use.
Figure 12. Table bed roller adjustment.
To check the cutterhead-to-table alignment,
do these steps:
1. UNPLUG THE PLANER!
2. If you have not already done so, loosen the
setscrews where the table bed rollers
mount to the planer body at either end of
both rollers. See Figure 12.
3. Use a wrench to lower the rollers on their
eccentric shafts. Leave the table rollers in
the retracted position until instructed to
reset the knife height at the end of this
section.
Front View
Figure 13. Gauge block.
Side View
4. Make the gauge shown in Figure 13 out of
a block of wood.
5. Place the block on one end of the table,
directly under the cutterhead casting.
6. Lower the cutterhead casting so the block
only touches the cutterhead casting (keep
knives rotated out of the way for this
step). See Figure 14.
7. Without moving the cutterhead casting,
slide the block of wood to the other end of
the cutterhead casting. If the block of
wood will not fit, or if the block is below
the casting, measure this gap with a feeler
gauge. If the difference is more than
0.002", then the cutterhead casting needs
to be adjusted from left to right.

head casting to either side of the depth
stop.
9. Lower the cutterhead casting so the block
barely touches the casting.
10. Remove the block and place it between the
middle-rear of the cutterhead casting and the
table. If there is a gap or it will not fit under
the head casting, measure the difference
with a feeler gauge. If this measurement is
more than 0.002", then the table needs to be
adjusted from front to back.
11. There are two methods to adjust the table
on your planer. The first is for adjustments
smaller than 0.016" and the second is for
adjustments larger than 0.016".
Figure 15. Cutterhead casting mounting screws.
To adjust the cutterhead casting less than
0.016", do these steps:
NOTE: This adjustment may require some
trial and error and two people. One person
holds the head casting in position with the
two-by-four, and the other tightens the
casting mounting screws shown in Figure 15.
Idler Sprocket
Bracket
1. Loosen the cutterhead casting mounting
screws and lift/lower the casting with a
long two-by-four until the table and the
casting are parallel with each other.
2. Adjust each column on both sides until the
cutterhead casting is properly set. While
adjusting the columns, tighten each screw
after each step to ensure accurate results.
Figure 16. Underside of planer table.
To adjust the cutterhead casting more than
0.016", do these steps:
NOTE: The underside of the table has five
sprockets and a chain. The four corner
sprockets control cutterhead casting height,
and the fifth sprocket (idler sprocket)
controls chain tension. See Figure 16.
1. Loosen the two bolts on the idler sprocket
bracket (as shown in Figure 16) to loosen
the chain so that each sprocket can be
rotated on its own. See Figure 17.

2. Hold the chain away from the sprocket
while you turn the sprocket. Make sure, as
you adjust each sprocket, that you count
the number of teeth that pass a fixed
point.
4. Loosen the cutterhead casting mounting
screws and use a two-by-four to pry and
lift/lower the cutterhead casting until the
casting and table are parallel with each
other.
NOTE: This adjustment may require some
trial and error and two people. One person
holds the head casting in position with the
two-by-four, and the other tightens the
casting mounting screws shown in Figure 15.
NOTE: As viewed from the underside of
planer, moving the sprockets clockwise
lowers the cutterhead casting and moving
counter-clockwise raises the casting. Each
tooth on the corner sprockets equals 0.016"
of vertical movement when the sprockets
are turned. See Figure 17.
5. Adjust each column on both sides until the
cutterhead casting is properly set. While
adjusting the columns, tighten each screw
after each step to ensure accurate results.
3. After you have the cutterhead casting
adjusted to within 0.016" from front-to-
back and from side-to-side, tighten the
chain so all of the chain slack is removed.

Inspecting Knives
(W1723)
These Points Must
All Touch Evenly
The Model W1723 features a three straight-
knife cutterhead. Correctly positioned knives
act as a reference point for adjusting the feed
rollers and the chip breaker. The knife edge
should be within 0.002" from one end to the
other. Improperly adjusted knives may
unbalance the cutterhead, reduce the
sharpness of knife edges prematurely, shorten
bearing life, and produce poor planing results.
WEAR thick gloves and use
extreme caution when
working
near
planer
knives. These knives are
dangerously sharp! Failure
to exercise care while
working near knives could
result in severe injury.

To check the knives, do these steps:
NOTICE
1. UNPLUG THE PLANER!
For quick and easy knife adjustments to
within 0.001" from one knife end to the other,
use a Planer Pal®. Refer to Planer Accessories
on Pages 34 and 35 for more details.
2. Remove the upper dust cover and dust port
for access to the cutterhead.
3. Remove the plastic chip deflector.
4. Remove the V-belt cover from the left-
hand side of the planer (facing front).
5. Using the V-belt to rotate the cutterhead,
turn the cutterhead so a knife is
accessible.
6. Position both feet of the knife setting jig
on the cutterhead. The knife should barely
touch the center of the jig as shown in
Figure 18.
• If the knife does not contact the center
of the jig, or if the knife contacts the
center of the jig but both feet will not
sit solidly on the cutterhead, adjust the
knives as outlined on Page 18 in the

Knife Replacement
(W1723)
The Model W1723 Planer is equipped with both
springs and jack screws for knife adjustment.
Springs allow adjustments to be made quickly,
while jack screws are more accurate. Both
methods are covered below. The W1724 does
not use adjustable knives.
WEAR thick gloves when
working
near
planer
knives. Otherwise you can
be severely cut!
Figure 19. Typical SHOP FOX® cutterhead.
SPRINGS exert upward pressure under the
knives while wedge-type gibs and gib bolts lock
the knives in place. See Figure 19 for
cutterhead assembly identification.
JACK SCREWS support the knives from
underneath. By threading the jack screws in or
out, you can precisely control the knife height.
See Figure 19 for identification.

Knife Replacement
(W1724)
Indexing
Tool
The Model W1724 does not need a knife setting
jig in order to establish the correct knife height.
The spiral cutterhead has an alignment groove in
which the knife indexing tangs fit into,thus
establishing the correct knife height every time
(See Figure 23). However, care must be taken
to make sure that the knife tangs fully seat in
the alignment groove when you tighten the gib
screws. An indexing tool is included with your
planer to assist in this alignment. See Figures 21
and 25).

Feed Rollers and
Chip Breaker
The feed rollers and the chip breaker are factory
set for general planing. If you need to alter the
settings or reset them after maintenance, these
components can be adjusted at the same time,
assuming that the knife height is set correctly.
The standard setting for the chipbreaker is
0.020" below the cutterhead knife at bottom
dead center. The infeed roller and outfeed roller
should be set to 0.040" below the cutterhead
knife at bottom dead center.
To accurately perform this adjustment, you
will need a dial indicator (not included). Refer
to Planer Accessories on Pages 34 and 35 for
more details.

Anti-Kickback Pawls
Figure 32. Anti-kickback pawls.
Unbinding and free operation of the anti-
kickback pawls is essential for the safe
operation of the planer. Pawls clogged with
pitch, sawdust, or other contaminants can
render them useless if a kickback occurs.
Your planer features anti-kickback pawls that
allow the workpiece to enter the planer, but
stop the workpiece from coming back out of
the entrance in the event of a kickback. See
Figure 32.
Inspect the anti-kickback pawls frequently to
ensure that they swing free and easy and that
no pitch, sawdust, or other contaminants
restrict operation. Never lubricate the pawls.
Lubrication may cause dust to build-up, which
will restrict movement.

Table Bed Rollers
The table bed rollers should be set last so they
stay out of the way during the other
adjustments. The required height of the table
bed rollers will vary depending on the type of
stock you intend to plane.
As a general rule, table bed roller height
should be between 0.002" and 0.006" above the
table (see Figure 34). However, some stock
may have better results outside of these height
settings. Often, a small amount of trial-and-
error is required to find the best table roller
height for any particular stock. Rough stock
will plane better when the rollers are higher,
and smooth stock will have less snipe when the
rollers are lower.
Figure 34. Table roller tolerances.
To adjust the table bed roller height, do
these steps:
1. UNPLUG THE PLANER!
2. Place a straightedge across the length of
the table as shown in Figure 35.
3. Use a feeler gauge to measure the gap
between the table surface and the
straightedge, and adjust the table bed

OPERATIONS
Test Run
Before turning the machine ON for the first
time, make sure you have read through the
entire manual and have completed the
instructions given in the Assembly and
Adjustments sections, and that you have taken
all safety precautions.
Always
wear
safety
goggles when operating
this machine!
Make sure any tools used to assemble/adjust
the machine are cleared away. The table
should be lowered enough to provide plenty of
room for the safe operation of the feed rollers
and the cutterhead.
NOTICE
Always lock down cutterhead lock knobs
before planing, or the cutterhead will move
and create snipe at the ends of the boards.
Plug in the power cord and press the START
button. Make sure that you remain near the
switch in case you have to press the STOP
button in an emergency. Strange noises or
vibrations should be investigated and corrected
before operating the machine further.
Feed Rate
The feed rate is the speed that the rollers
drive the workpiece through the planer. Your
planer features 16 and 20 FPM feed rates.
As a general rule, the faster the feed rate the
faster the workpiece is planed, but a rougher
finish is left behind; and the slower the feed
rate, the slower the workpiece is planed, but a
smoother finish is left behind.
Figure 37. Feed rate knob.
Often, a small amount of trial-and-error will be
the best way to determine which setting is
right for your particular application.
NOTICE
DO NOT change speeds while planing or
severe damage to gearbox will result!
To change the feed roller speed, locate the
feed rate knob shown in Figure 37. The
machine must be running in order to change
speeds; however, you should NEVER be planing
stock through the machine when you switch
speeds. Start the planer and pull or push in the
knob as illustrated in Figure 38.

Operational Tips
NOTICE
•
Avoid planing a workpiece with a high
moisture content. Wood with more than
20% moisture, or wood that has been
exposed to rain or snow, will plane poorly
and cause unnecessary wear on the knives
and motor. Excess moisture may also cause
rust or corrosion problems.
Always lock down cutterhead lock knobs
before planing, or the cutterhead will move
and create snipe at the ends of the boards.
•
Carefully inspect any workpiece that you
plan to run through the planer. Each
workpiece must have at least one flat
surface to slide along the planer table. To
create a flat surface, pass the workpiece
over a jointer first. See Figure 39. Some
defects such as moderate twisting, loose
knots or severe cracks may make the stock
un-planeable.
•
Only plane clean lumber. See Figure 40.
Scrape off all glue from joined boards
before planing. Remove all dirt, nails,
staples, imbedded gravel, etc. from any
workpiece you plan on planing. A hidden
nail in a workpiece will instantly damage
the knives.
Portion
Removed With
Jointer
Figure 39. Face joint the concave side of cupped

•
Plane ONLY natural wood fiber. Never
plane wood composites such as particle
board, plywood or MDF. Never plane
laminates, formica or other synthetic
materials.
•
•
•
Surface wood in the same direction as the
grain. Never feed end-cut or end-grained
lumber into the planer.
Keep your work area clear. Always make
sure that long workpieces are supported
and have enough room to exit the planer.

Troubleshooting Planing Results
This section covers the most common problems with the workpiece that you may encounter. DO NOT
make any adjustments until the planer is unplugged and moving parts have come to a complete stop. For
Machine troubleshooting go to Page 33.
FUZZY GRAIN — Grain fibers stand up on the
Planing results are affected by the species and
condition of the wood, how the planer is setup,
and the condition of the knives. The following
characteristics are some common problems, and
the solutions woodworkers might use while
planing.
workpiece after planing.
SOLUTIONS:
• DO NOT plane damp or wet wood, check
wood with a moisture meter. Any wood
with a moisture reading over 20% should
be allowed to dry.
SNIPE — More material is being removed from the
board ends rather than the middle of the board.
• Install sharp knives.
GLOSSY SURFACE — The wood is scorched,
SOLUTIONS:
• Lock down cutterhead lock knobs before
planing.
• Provide more support on the infeed and
outfeed sides so the wood travels
completely through the planer without
any vertical tilting. But this alignment
problem occurs with all planers to some
degree.
blackened, and/or glossy.
SOLUTIONS:
• Increase the cutting depth.
• Adjust feed rate.
• Remove all resin or glue build-up on the
rollers, cutterhead, and the surface of
the wood to be planed.
• Install sharp knives so shallow cuts do not
have to be made to compensate for dull
knives that burn the wood. If a glossy and
burned surface has existed for a long
time, the knives will be heat-damaged,
and will not hold a sharp edge after
sharpening. The knives must be replaced.
• Hold the workpiece flat against the
planer tables and rollers so the board
does not tilt while entering and exiting
the planer.
• Install extra roller stands.
CHIP MARKS — Chips are not being properly
expelled from the cutterhead. The chips get
caught between the knives and the workpiece
and hinder knife cutting ability. Chip marks are
usually random and uneven.
WOOD DOES NOT FEED CORRECTLY — The
planer draws wood in erratically or slowly.
SOLUTIONS:
• Adjust the bed rollers, they may be too
low, or too high, or tilted to high on one
side.
• Adjust the feed rollers
• Adjust the chip breaker, it may be
dragging on the workpiece.
• Plane wood that is not twisted or warped
• Lock down cutterhead lock knobs before
planing.
SOLUTIONS:
• Unclog the chip deflector blockage and
adjust the chip deflector clearance.
• Increase cleaning intervals.
• Install or service dust collector.
CHIPPED GRAIN — Grain shows cut marks and
chips.
• Remove any pitch build-up on the feed
rollers.
• Replace the knives if they are
dull or broken.
SOLUTIONS:
• DO NOT plane against the grain.
• DO NOT plane workpiece with knots or
cross grain.
• Install sharp knives.
• Make shallower cuts.
• Only surface clean and flat wood.

MAINTENANCE
General
Regular periodic maintenance on your planer
will ensure its optimum performance. Make a
habit of inspecting your planer each time you
use it.
Disconnect power to the
machine when performing
any
maintenance
or
repairs. Failure to do this
may result in serious
personal injury.
Check for the following conditions and repair
or replace when necessary:
•
•
•
•
•
Loose mounting bolts.
Worn switch.
Worn or damaged cords and plugs.
Damaged V-belts.
Any other condition that could hamper the
safe operation of this machine.
Inspect your planer for
loose nuts and bolts. Make
sure that all tools are
cleared away from the
machine before starting
the unit.
Cleaning
Wear safety glasses and a respirator and use
compressed air to blow-off dust build-up. Dust
build-up around the motor can lead to motor
failure.
Occasionally it will become necessary to clean
the internal parts with more than compressed
air. To do this, remove the covers and clean
the internal parts with a citrus cleaner or
mineral spirits and a stiff wire brush or steel
wool. DO NOT USE WATER—WATER WILL RUST
CAST IRON. Make sure the internal workings are
dry before using the planer again. If any
essential lubrication is removed during
cleaning, relubricate those areas.
Table
The table can be kept rust-free with regular
applications of products like Boeshield® T-9. For
long term storage, you may want to consider
products like Kleen Bore's Rust Guardit™.

Lubrication
Since all bearings are sealed and permanently
lubricated, leave them alone until they need to
be replaced. DO NOT lubricate them. However,
your planer does need lubrication in the
following listed places, depending on heavy use
and the shop environment:
Drive Chains
•
Columns and Lead Screws — Lubricate
columns as needed with light oil to prevent
rust, and lubricate the four lead screws
with a general purpose grease to prevent
rust and maintain smooth operation.

•
Chain — Inspect the table height
adjustment chain periodically and lubricate
as needed. Use high quality chain lubricant
for best results.
Figure 41. Gear box drain and fill plugs.
Gear Box — Drain the gear box after the
first 30 hours of operation. Figure 41
shows the gear box drain and fill plugs.
Refill with 80-90w gear oil. The oil level
should reach the top of the filler plug port.
After the initial change, inspect fluid levels
periodically and change yearly. If your
planer receives heavy use, change the gear
oil more frequently.
Feed Roller Plugs

•
Drive Chains — Inspect and lubricate the
drive chains every six months. Check the
sprockets, the chain, and the master links
during inspection. Use a general purpose
grease to lubricate the chain.
Figure 42. Feed roller plug lubrication points.
Feed Rollers — The four feed roller plugs
have holes to accept oil. Make sure that no
dust is in the oil holes and lubricate all
four feed roller plugs with two drops of oil
before daily start-up. Figure 42 shows the
lubrication points for the feed rollers. DO
NOT lubricate more than two drops or the
excess oil will end up on the floor.

Belt Tension
Frequently inspect the V-belt tension during
the first twenty hours of break-in operation.
During this period, the belts will stretch and
seat, which can generate a fair amount of
black dust inside of the belt cover. This dust
buildup is a normal condition during planer life
since the cover retains the dust.
However, it is very important that you check
the drive belts so all belts have the same
tension (belt deflection) after the break-in
period. If one belt is looser than the others,
you must align the pulleys.
Motor
Mounting
Bolts
NOTE: When replacing belts, always replace
belts as a matched set.
Figure 43. Motor mounting bolt locations.
To adjust the belts, do these steps:
1. UNPLUG THE PLANER!
2. Remove the belt cover.
3. Insert a wooden lever under the motor so
you can move the motor when the
mounting bolts are loose.
4. Loosen the two motor mounting bolts. See
Figure 43.
5. Carefully use the wooden lever and pry up
on the motor and tension the V-belts.
6. Tighten the bolts so they are tensioned
equally and there is 1⁄4" belt deflection
when each belt is pushed firmly with your
fingers.
7. Remove the wooden lever and reinstall the
belt cover.
