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 circumference 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 read-
justing 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. Close the clutch guard and rein-
stall the retaining pin.
5. Close and secure the hood and
release the parking brake.
6. Break in the new belt. See page
47.
