Cub Cadet 928 SWE, 945 SWE warranty Changing Friction Wheel, Drive Belt Replacement

11.If also replacing the drive belt, proceed to the “Drive Belt” instruction. If not, reposition the transmission frame back onto the auger housing. Install the drive belt

on the engine pulley, re-connect the auger cable “Z” fitting and auger idler rod ferrule to the brake bracket. Reposition and secure the engine pulley belt guard, and re-install the belt cover.

NOTE: Make sure to remove the piece of wood blocking the impeller.

Check the auger drive belt 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. Thread ferrule in (towards idler) to increase tension on belt, or out to decrease belt tension.

NOTE: The brake puck must always be firmly seated in the pulley groove when auger control is disengaged.

CAUTION: Repeat the “Testing Auger Drive Control” from the Assembly and Set-up section before operating the snow thrower.
