Dave,
If the unit seems engaged (locked) most of the time, perhaps the belt is too
short. I replaced my belt a couple years ago and haven't had any
significant issues. I do get a little rubbing from time to time that makes
the engagement lever quiver when I'm not using it. It's more or an
annoyance though.

So I got a new belt from Ebay and have tried to install it and am having
problems. The lever used to have a positive lock when moved to the engage
position. Now the whole arm is floppy all the time. I also cannot find a
position of the adjusting cam where the belt is engaged in the engage
position and disengaged in the disengage position. It is locked in most
places. I am testing by simple trying to rotate the two halves of the
mechanism independently of each other. Is that the right way to adjust (the
manual talks about attaching power and measuring amperage but that seems
overkill if you can't rotate it). Any ideas? Thanks- Dave
