Proper 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 and thread ferrule in (towards idler) to increase tension on belt, and out to decrease tension.

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