ADJUSTING THE LIFT BELT
a. Locate the Socket Head Cap Screw on the Bottom
of the Control Head. It can be found between
the Coil Cord and Shaft. This is the screw that is
adjusted to increase the tension on the Lift Belt.
b. Using a 5/32" Allen Wrench, turn the Socket Head
Cap Screw clockwise to tighten the Lift Belt.
c. The screw should be tightened to 8 to 10 inch-lbs.
a. Deploy the Motor.
b. Using a #3 Phillips Screwdriver, remove the Right

Motor Shaft.

The Lift Belt assists in Trimming the Lower Unit up and down. Periodically slack may appear in the Lift Belt along the Shaft of the
