4.If the belt is not being reused (recommended), CUT the drive belt. Ensure all belt remnants are removed from the pulleys.

Installing the Drive Belt (Using Replacement Drive Belt)

The STR36SP-SERIES Ride-On PowerTrowel is equipped with a replacement drive belt (spare) carrier, which is mounted on the inboard side of the fuel tank near the clutch. Make sure that there is ALWAYS a spare drive belt in the drive belt carrier before the trowel is placed on a slab to finish concrete.

In the event of a drive belt failure, the spare (replacement) drive belt can be used for quick replacement at the job site to continue trowel operation.

1.If necessary, refer to Removing Drive Belt Instructions. Ensure all remnants of old belt have been removed from pulleys.

2.To replace the drive belt with the spare drive belt, remove the 2 bolts that secure the drive belt carrier. (Figure 19) This will allow free movement of the belt for installation. Take care with to not contaminate the relplacement belt with grease or dirt.

3.With the 3/4 x 1 x 3-1/4 wood block holding the lower pulley open, place the replacement belt into the lower pulley first. Work the belt over the upper drive pulley into the pulley groove.

4.Squeeze the belt enough to remove the wood block. With the block removed, release the tension on the belt.

5.Reinstall the spare belt carrier and the drive belt guard.

6.Replace the spare belt before the next trowel use. See spare drive belt replacement procedures.
