CHECKING THE DRIVE BELT
The drive belt needs to be changed as soon as it begins
to show signs of wear. NEVER reuse a belt under any
circumstances. Indications of excessive belt wear are
fraying, squealing when in use, belts that emit smoke or a
burning rubber smell when in use.
To gain access to the drive belt (Figure 31), remove the
drive belt guard cover, then visually inspect the drive belt
for signs of damage or excessive wear. If the drive belt is
worn or damaged, replace the drive belt.

cover until the muffler has cooled. Allow
