MAINTENANCE

Clutch System

Drive Belt Installation

1. Drop the drive belt over the drive

clutch and pull back the slack. The
belt cord line should be flush with,
or slightly above, the outer circum-
ference of the driven clutch sheaves.
The belt will seat itself in the driven
clutch during the break-in period.
Adjust the belt ride-out after the
break-in period by readjusting belt
deflection.

Tip: 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. Rotate the L-wrench counter-clockwise to tighten the sheaves while

working the belt to the outer edge of the sheaves.

3. Remove the wrench.

4. Reinstall the side panel.

5. Close and secure the hood.

6. Break in the new belt. See page 68.
