Drive Belt Installation
1. Drop the drive belt over the
drive clutch and pull back the
slack (A).
NOTE: To ensure satisfactory belt
life, install belts so they
operate in the same
direction of rotation by
positioning the identification
numbers so that you can
read them. If required,
separate the sheaves as
outlined in the belt removal
procedures.
2. Turn the driven clutch moveable
sheave clockwise while pushing
inward and forcing the belt
down between the sheaves.
3. Hold the belt down between the sheaves and roll the bottom
portion over the outer clutch sheave (B). Work the belt to the outer
edge of the sheave.
4. Rotate the L-wrench to tighten the sheaves. Remove the wrench
and store in the tool kit.
5. Close the clutch guard and reinstall the retaining pin.
6. Close and secure the hood and release the parking brake.
