Replacing the V-belt
CAUTION - Checking and Replacing the V-Belt
NEVER attempt to check the V-belt
with the engine running. Severe in-
jury can occur if your hand gets
caught between the V-belt and the
clutch. Always use safety gloves.
Checking the Clutch
1. With belt cover removed, visually check outer drum of
the clutch for seizure and "V" groove for wear or damage.
2. Clean the "V" groove as necessary.
3. Check the clutch lining and shoe for signs of wear. If the
shoe is worn, replace the clutch to prevent deficient power
transmission and slippage.
Replacing the Clutch
1. Remove V-belt.
2. Remove bolt at engine power output by tapping an
engaged wrench (e.g. tapping with hammer) and rotate
the bolt counterclockwise.
3. Remove clutch with a pulley extractor.
4. To install a new clutch, reverse steps 1-3.
1. Remove the belt cover.
2. Place an offset wrench (13 mm) or the like on the vibrator
pulley (lower) fastening bolt.
3. Using a waste cloth or the like, pull the V-belt back
strongly at midway of the belt on the left side and rotate
the offset wrench clockwise so that the V-belt will come
off.
4. Check the clutch and replace as necessary, following
the procedures listed in Checking the Clutch.
5. Place the V-belt on the lower vibrator pulley. Push the V-
belt to the left side of the upper clutch and rotate the
offset wrench clockwise so that the V-belt moves onto
the pulley.
