I installed Lamonster's belt dampner a couple days ago. The instructions don't really explain how to adjust it. Anyway I believe it definitely needs to be adjusted. Any advice would be appreciated. I attached a pic.
Thanks, Bob

Back off the bolts where its mounted to the frame just a bit...........the holes allow some adjustment. You should be able to push the rear of the arm in slightly and rotate the whole thing a little more vertical, hold while tightening the bolts.

I had the same issue with the LaMonster damper. Also, after one season, I found the bearings were pretty dry. I put Doc's damper back on and was able to adjust it to the belt. I am more happy with Doc's damper design as it allows a lot of adjustability.

Thanks for the responses. I'm glad I am retired and have the time to do things like this. BTW, the instructions aren't very good. Just my thought(s).
