vehicle. DO NOT tighten the bolts at this time.
5. Install the belt between the spinner shaft pulley
and the gear case pulley. Raise chute up to
bottom of engine base and tighten four mounting

are tight. (You may have to lower the pulley on the
chute about 2 inches).
Overtightening the belts may damage the
bearings on the gear case, the engine and/
or the spinner shaft. Overtightening will also
shorten the life of the belt.

bearing bolts and move the spinner shaft away
from the gear case. Correct belt tension allows
1/4" to 5/16" defl ection midway between the
pulleys when belt is pushed with your fi nger. Make
sure the spinner shaft is vertical and the pulleys
are lined up before retightening the fasteners.
