The Multiquip 22856-001 is a genuine OEM Belt Slip Lever designed for Multiquip MS-series masonry saws, including the MS18H5.5, MS18H8, MS18E, MS20H, MS20E, MS30H, and MS30E. As a direct OEM replacement, the part is manufactured to the same specifications as the original component, ensuring a correct, trouble-free installation. Sourced directly through authorized channels, this part is the right choice when you need confidence in fitment and long-term performance on your masonry saw.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — Manufactured to original Multiquip specifications, delivering the same lever geometry, material grade, and pivot action as the part it replaces.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — Matches the original mounting points and belt engagement profile on MS-series masonry saws, so installation follows the factory service procedure without modification.
- Broad MS-Series Compatibility — Confirmed fitment across the MS18H5.5, MS18H8, MS18E, MS20H, MS20E, MS30H, and MS30E, covering both Honda-powered and electric variants in the lineup.
- Maintains Consistent Belt Tension Control — A correctly functioning Belt Slip Lever allows the operator to engage and disengage the blade drive belt smoothly; a worn or bent lever leads to inconsistent belt tension, blade stall, or uncontrolled engagement.
- Operator Safety Relevance — The Belt Slip Lever is a direct part of the blade drive engagement system; using an OEM-spec replacement preserves the intended engagement feel and helps prevent unintended blade activation.
The Belt Slip Lever is the mechanical control component that engages and disengages the drive belt connecting the engine or motor to the saw blade on Multiquip MS-series masonry saws. When the operator actuates the lever, it applies or releases tension on the belt, allowing the blade to spin up or coast to a stop without shutting down the power source. Over time, the lever can bend, crack, or wear at its pivot point, resulting in slipping belt engagement, difficulty controlling blade speed, or a lever that no longer holds its position — all of which interrupt cutting productivity and can create unsafe operating conditions.
