To install the wheel drive belt:

1.Place the wheel drive belt on the engine wheel drive pulley and transmission pulley.

2.If you had to loosen the bolt that secures the engine pulley belt guide (Figure 5-5, Item R) in place, position the leg of this belt guide approxi- mately 1/16-inch from the outer surface of the wheel drive belt and tighten the bolt that secures it to the back of the engine.

3.Rotate one of the two belt guides that is below the transmission pulley so that its "leg" is 1/16-inch away from the outer surface of the wheel drive belt. Hold the belt guide in this position and

tighten the bolt that holds the belt guide in place. Repeat this step for the remaining belt guide.

4.Retighten bolt that attaches belt guide (Figure 5-8, Item S) to engine.

5.Move the rear half of the snowthrower close to the front half. Place the auger drive belt onto the engine auger drive pulley (Figure 5-8, Item Q).

7.Reinstall the worm gear and support (Figure 5-7, Item M) to the left-hand side of the snowthrower. Firmly tighten the bolt (Figure 5-7, Item N) that holds it in place. Rotate the chute control crank to make sure that the deflector chute turns freely. If it doesn't,loosen the bolt (Figure 5-7, Item N) and adjust the support inward or outward so that the chute doesn'tbind.

8.Adjust the wheel drive cable. See "Wheel Drive Cable Adjustment".
