The HHN31V Ride-On Power Trowel 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 the “Removing the Drive Belt”
section. 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 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” procedure.
