•Slip the auger control belt (the front belt) off the engine pulley.
•Pull the brake bracket assembly towards the cable guide roller and unhook the auger cable “Z” fitting.
•Remove the upper bolts and lock washers which secure the auger housing assembly to the frame assembly using a 9/16” wrench. See Figure 18.
•Separate the auger housing from the frame assembly by tilting the housing forward and pulling up the handles.
•Using a 1/2” wrench, remove the hex screw and bell washer from the center of the pulley on the auger housing. Lift the brake bracket assembly out of the pulley groove and remove the pulley. Be careful not to lose the key. See Figure 21.

•Remove and replace auger belt inside belt keepers.
•Reassemble pulley to auger housing with hex screw and bell washer (cupped side toward the pulley). Make sure key is in place on shaft and brake puck is seated in the pulley groove.
•Reassemble the belt cover and chute directional
control.
Proper Adjustment: With the auger clutch lever in the disengaged position the top surface of the new belt should be even with the outside diameter of the pulley.
•To adjust, disconnect ferrule from brake bracket assembly and thread ferrule in (towards idler) to increase tension on belt, and out to decrease tension.
NOTE: The brake puck must always be firmly seated in the pulley groove when the auger control is in the disengaged position.
Drive Belt
•Unhook the extension spring from the belt cover plate. See Figure 22.
•Remove drive belt from the engine pulley and bottom drive pulley. Refer to Figure 22.
