The V-belt is designed to last for a long time and is not normally replaced. However, if V-belt is cracked, gouged or broken, now is a good time to replace it as follows.

To install new belt (with lettering on out- side of belt), slide back of belt over pulley and pull front of belt toward groove (E) next to pulley. Belt will “pop” into place.
