Drive Belt Condition
Periodically check the condition and tension of the drive belt, and
always carry a spare. Inspect the belt for signs of excessive wear:
frayed edges, missing cogs, cracks and excessive looseness. Replace
the belt if any of these conditions exist.
The following procedures apply to TEAM driven clutches.
Drive Belt Removal
1. Be sure the key switch is off and the engine has come to a
complete stop. Apply the brake (or lock the parking brake if
equipped).
2. Open the hood, remove the clutch guard retaining pin and open the
clutch guard.
3. Locate the L-wrench in the tool kit and install it into the open
threaded hole in the outer sheave of the clutch. Rotate the wrench
until the sheaves open far enough to remove the belt.
4. Firmly grasp the belt midway
between the clutches and pull
upward and rearward to remove.
See illustration.
