BELT REPLACEMENT

Auger Drive Belt

The drive belts are of special construction and must be replaced with original factory replacement belts available from your nearest authorized service center. Some steps require the assistance of a second person. If the auger drive belt is damaged, the snow thrower will not discharge snow. Replace the damaged belt as follows.

1.Disconnect the spark plug wire.

2.Loosen the capscrews (A, Figure 28) on each side of the bottom panel (B).

3.Remove the bottom panel (B).

4.Loosen screw (B, Figure 24) from belt cover (A). Remove belt cover (A).

5.Loosen the belt guide (B, Figure 29). Pull the belt guide away from the auger drive pulley (A).

6.Pull the auger idler pulley (K) away from the auger drive belt (D) and slip the belt off of the idler.

7.Remove the auger drive belt (D) from the engine pul- ley. To remove the auger drive belt (D), the auger drive pulley (C) may have to be partially rotated.

8.Index or point the spout rotator to the center of the machine so the rotator control is in the center of the dash panel.

9.Remove special nut (A, Figure 30) and cover (B).

10.Remove hair pin (C) and slide rod forward about 3 inches. Until hex shaft separates from handle con- trol.

11.Remove the upper four capscrews (A, Figure 32) that hold together the auger housing (C) and the frame

(D). Loosen the lower two capscrews (B). The auger housing (C) and the frame (D) can now be split apart for removal of the belt.

12.Remove the old auger drive belt (D, Figure 29) from the impeller pulley. Replace the auger drive belt with an original factory replacement belt available from an authorized service center.

13.Install the new auger drive belt (D) onto the impeller pulley.

NOTE: To assemble the auger housing to the frame, have someone hold the auger clutch lever in the ENGAGED position. This will move the idler arm and pul- ley enough to allow the auger drive pulley to move back into position.

14.Assemble the auger housing (C, Figure 32) to the frame with the four upper capscrews (A) that were removed in Step 11. Tighten the two lower capscrews

(B).
