Installing the Drive Belt (Using Replacement Drive Belt)
The STR46SPVGH 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.
1. If necessary, refer to Removing Drive Belt Instructions.
Ensure all remnants of old belt have been removed from
pulleys.
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.
