ASSEMBLING THE BELTS
IMPORTANT: The tapered "V" section of the belts must be seated into the grooves of the
DRIVE BELT
•Remove the two outside 1/8" hairpin clips which are assembled to the L.H. and R.H. tension adjusting chains outside of the clutch idler assembly frame. (The clips will be reinstalled after both belts have been assembled.) Do not remove the 3/32" hairpin clips assembled to the chains on the inside of the assembly frame. See fi gure 21.
•Assemble the drive belt onto the tractor's engine pulley and then onto the upper rear pulley on the clutch/idler assembly. Keep the fl at idler pulley on the outside of the belt. See fi gure 21.
Hold this diagram above you while viewing the Clutch/Idler Assembly from underneath the tractor. Right and left in this diagram will be the reverse of the viewer's right and left.
AUGER BELT
•Make sure the auger belt is correctly assembled to the snow thrower. The belt must pass over the top of the auger pulley and then twist 1/4 turn to pass underneath the two side idler pulleys on the snow thrower. The "V" side of the belt must seat in the grooves of all three pulleys. See fi gure 22.
