Installing the Drive Belt (Using New Drive Belt)
The HHX is equipped with a replacement drive belt (spare) carrier, which is mounted on the inboard side of the platform between the battery and the clutch. Make sure that there is ALWAYS a spare drive belt in the drive belt carrier before the trowel is placed on a slab to finish concrete.
In the event of a drive belt failure, the spare (replacement) drive belt can be used for quick replacement at the job site to continue trowel operation.
1.If necessary, refer to Removing Drive Belt Instructions. Ensure all remnants of old belt have been removed from pulleys.
2.Remove the 2 bolts that secure the drive belt carrier. (Figure 20) This will allow free movement of the belt for installation. Take care with to not contaminate the relplacement belt with grease or dirt.
3.Remove the 5/8 Bolt from the Upper Drive Pulley.You will need to hold the flywheel in place by using a large flat blade screwdriver or suitable pry bar.
4.Again hold the flywheel in place as above and thread the Special Upper Drive Pulley Removal Tool (Figure 16), into the Upper Drive Pulley. Tighten until the taperlock breaks free. Slide the pulley off the shaft.
5.Place the replacement belt into the lower pulley first. (A wood block may help holding the lower pulley open).
6.Place the other end of the belt over the upper drive pulley into the pulley groove and slide the pulley back onto the tapered shaft.
7.Use threadlock, (Loctite Blue 246) on 5/8" retaining bolt, thread into pulley and tighten.
8.Reinstall the spare belt carrier and the drive belt guard.
9.Replace the spare belt before the next trowel use. See spare drive belt replacement procedures.
