The belt is shown positioned on smallest motor pulley
and largest spindle pulley. This causes lathe to operate

it down and moving it to the center of the slot,
3, With motor cover slid back, turn spindle pulley
counterclockwise with your left hand while pushing
belt toward motor with your right hand.
4. Keep turning pulley while pushing on belt until it
"climbs" down onto the next smaller section of spin-
dle pulley.
5. Now turn spindle puiley clockwise while continuing
to push belt toward motor until belt "climbs" up onto
next larger step of motor pulley.
To make the lathe go slower, the belt must be shifted
away from the motor.
1. Turn spindle pulley clockwise with your right hand
while pushing belt away from motor with your left
hand.
2, Keep turning pulley untit belt "climbs" down onto
next smaller step of motor pulley.

pushing belt away from motor until belt "climbs" up
onto next larger step of spindle pulley.
