REPLACING BELTS
• Replace belts when they are worn or
regularly need adjustment.
• Replace belts as a complete set. Old or
worn belts will not tension the same as
new belts.
• Remove belt guard bolts and remove belt
guard.
• Loosen all four engine slide bolts.
• Loosen outside jam nuts (two places)
and turn inside jam nuts counter-
clockwise to move engine back and
loosen belts enough to remove over
sheaves. Clutch should be disengaged.
• Jam nuts will only need to be turned a
few turns to loosen belts.
• Cutter disk lock pin should be removed
to allow the sheaves to turn in removing
the belts. DO NOT HAVE CUTTER
DISK HOOD OPEN.
• Remove all four belts. It may be a good
idea to start removing 2 belts from each
sheave as shown in the pictures to the
right.
• Install new belts using the same
procedure only in reverse.
• Never pry new belts onto the sheave!
