•Raise the snow thrower to the transport position.
•Place the auger belt around the bottom rear pulley on the clutch/idler assembly and between the two pulleys on the lower idler arm. Keep the fl at idler pulley to the outside of the belt. See fi gure 23.
•Pull the fl at idler pulley against the auger belt using the R.H. tension adjusting chain. For correct belt tension, pull the chain as far as the inside hairpin clip will allow and then reinstall the outside 1/8" hairpin clip into the chain. See fi gure 23.
IMPORTANT: If the R.H. inside hairpin clip is removed, reinstall it in link #4 (counted from the end of the chain attached to the spring).
•Pull the upper fl at idler pulley against the drive belt using the L.H. tension adjusting chain. For correct belt tension, pull the chain as far as the inside hairpin clip will allow and then reinstall the outside 1/8" hairpin clip into the chain. See fi gure 23.
IMPORTANT: If the L.H. inside hairpin clip is removed, reinstall it in link #8 on tractors with 6" diameter engine pulleys or in link #5 on tractors with smaller engine pulleys. (Links are counted from the end of the chain attached to the spring.)
