WARNING

STORED ENERGY DEVICE: Improper release of the belt tension spring can result in personal injury.

Use extreme caution when removing this spring.

4.Loosen the nut on the spring anchor eyebolt (G, Figure 38) to release the majority of the belt tension. Use caution and remove the nut to completely release the tension.

5.Remove the old belt and replace it with the new one. Make sure the V-side of the belt runs in the grooves of the crankshaft pulley and transmission pulleys (B & C).

6.Reinstall the spring anchor eyebolt (G) into the anchor tab and loosely fasten the nut. Adjust the anchor eyebolt until a measurement of 8-3/8” (21,2 cm) is achieved from the outside of the spring hooks. Tighten nut.
