Place new belts on the two auger pulleys making sure that the front auger belt is under the belt brake. Route belts under and to the left of the flat idler pulley. Hold the belts upward in this position. While lifting up on the handles, bring the frame assembly close to the auger housing, and place the two belts on the front and rear engine pulleys. See Figure 33.
Figure 30
•Standing in the operating position, lift up on the handles and pull the frame assembly towards the rear. The frame and the housing will separate, and the rear auger belt will come off the pulley. Maintain control of the frame assembly while pulling it.
•Remove the two belts from the two engine pulleys. For location of the pulleys, see Figure 31 .
