MAINTENANCE
Clutch System
Drive Belt Installation
1. Drop the drive belt over the
drive clutch and pull back
the slack.
NOTE: To ensure satisfactory
belt life, install belts so
they operate in the
same direction of rota-
tion by positioning the
identification numbers
so that you can read
them. If required, sepa-
rate the sheaves as
outlined in the belt removal procedures.
2. Turn the driven clutch moveable sheave clockwise while pushing
inward and forcing the belt down between the sheaves.
3. Hold the belt down between
the sheaves and roll the bot-
tom portion over the outer
clutch sheave. Work the belt
to the outer edge of the
sheave.
4. Standard Clutch: Skip to
step 6.
5. TEAM Clutch: Rotate the
L-wrench to tighten the
sheaves. Remove the wrench
and store in the tool kit.
6. Close the clutch guard and reinstall the retaining pin.
7. Close and secure the hood and release the parking brake.
