To remove the front auger drive belt, push the idler pulley to the left. The belt brake should move outward and lift the front auger drive belt from the front auger pulley.
Place new belts on the two auger pulleys making sure that the front auger belt is under the belt brake. Route belts under and to the left of the flat idler pulley. Hold the belts upward in this position. While lifting up on the handles, bring the frame assembly close to the auger housing and place the two belts on the front and rear engine pulleys. See Figure 16.
