WARNING

IS500Z, 1000Z, IS1500Z, IS2000Z, IS3000Z, IS3100Z, IS4500Z, S150X & S200X Models: Use extreme caution when rotating the idler arm with the breaker bar, due to the increased tension in the spring as the idler arm is being rotated. Injury may result if the breaker bar is prematurely released while the spring is under tension.

Remove the Spindle Belt

IS500Z & IS1500Z Series:

1.Using a 1/2” breaker bar, place the square end in the square hole located in the end of the idler arm (A, Figures 16). Carefully rotate the breaker bar clockwise, which will relieve the tension on the belt exerted from the idler arm.

2.Slide the drive belt over the edge of the stationary idler pulley (B). Carefully release the tension on the breaker bar. Remove the belt from the right-hand (discharge side) spindle pulley.
