• Pull the brake bracket assembly towards the cable
guide roller and unhook the auger cable “Z” fitting.
• Remove the upper bolts and lock washers which
secure the auger housing assembly to the frame
assembly using a 9/16” wrench.
• Separate the auger housing from the frame
assembly by tilting the housing forward and pulling
up the handles.
• Using a 1/2” wrench, remove the hex screw and
bell washer from the center of the pulley on the
auger housing. Lift the brake bracket assembly out
of the pulley groove and remove the pulley. Be
careful not to lose the key. See Figure 20.
• Remove and replace auger belt inside belt keepers.
• Reassemble pulley to auger housing with hex
screw and bell washer (cupped side toward the
pulley). Make sure key is in place on shaft and
brake puck is seated in the pulley groove.
• Reassemble the belt cover and chute directional
control.
Proper Adjustment: With the auger clutch lever in the
disengaged position the top surface of the new belt
should be even with the outside diameter of the pulley.
• To adjust, disconnect ferrule from brake bracket
assembly and thread ferrule in (towards idler) to
increase tension on belt, and out to decrease tension.
NOTE: The brake puck must always be firmly seated in
the pulley groove when the auger control is in the
disengaged position.
Drive Belt
• Unhook the extension spring from the belt cover
plate. See Figure 21.
• Remove drive belt from the engine pulley and
