BELT ADJUSTMENT
Traction Drive Belt
The traction drive belt has constant spring pressure and does not require an adjustment. If the traction drive belt is slipping, replace the belt. See "How To Replace The Belts" in the Service And Adjustment section.
Auger Drive Belt
If your snow blower will not discharge snow, check the control cable adjust- ment. If it is correct, then check the condition of the auger drive belt. If it is damaged or loose, replace it (see "How To Replace The Belts" in this section of the manual).
1.Disconnect spark plug wire.
2.Remove screw from belt cover. Remove belt cover (see Figure 25).
Have someone engage auger drive clutch. Check tension on belt (op- posite idler pulley). Belt should de- flect about 1/2 inch (12.5 mm) with moderate pressure (Figure 26). You
may have to move idler pulley more than once to obtain the correct ten- sion.
