Installing the Forward
Drive
Belt.
2.
Push the forward drive belt down and over the
front of
the
transmission pulley.
If you need more
working
room,
use a
3/8" wrench
to loosen the
belt
guide on the left-hand
side
of the
tiller
and
twist
the
belt
guide out of the
way.
3.
Place
the forwa
rd
drive belt on the Econo-
Horse in either the
center
groove or the rear
groove
on the
transmiss ion pulley
(put belt
in
rear groove on
Pony
and
Junior models). Then
work the forward
drive belt
onto the
correspond-
ing groove in the
engine-driven
pulley(upper
pul-
ley).
Make sure that the forward
drive
belt is to
the
inside of
the wire
belt
guide (on the right
hand
side
of the
tiller).
4.
If you previously loosened the
belt
guide,
wait
until
you
reinstall
the
reverse drive
belt befo
re
securing the belt
quide.
This is so you can
center
the belt guide on the
reverse
drive belt.
5.
Reinstall
the reverse drive belt.
6.
If
you've
installed a brand new
belt,
check the
tension
and adjust
it after two hours of
tilling.
1.
Thread the new forward
drive
belt downward,
down
between the
rear of the
engine-driven pul-
ley and the forward drive idler
arm.
f
NOT E:
If you are
installing
both
belts,
you
must install the
forward drive belt first.

THE
FORWARD DRIV
E
BELT
IMPORTANT:
The
Econo-Horse
Model tiller has
two
forward
speeds and one reverse speed, so
its
engine-driven
forward
pulley has tw
o
belt
grooves and its lower transmission pulley has 3
belt grooves; the
Pony
and Junior Models
have
one forward speed
and
one
reverse speed,
so
their
engine
-driven
forward
pulley has
one
belt
groove
instead
of
two,
and the
ir
transmission
pulley has two grooves instead of
three.
Stop the
engine, allow
it to cool, disconnect
the spark plug wire
and prevent
it from
touching the spark
plug, then
remove
the
Engine
Ignition key
before performing
any
maintenance on your
tiller.
Failure to
follow
these
instructions
could re-
sult
in
personal
injury or property
damage.
A
WARNING
1.
Remove
the
reverse belt by following the
in-
structions in "Removing
the Reverse
Drive Belt"
given
later
in this section.
2.
Move the
forward
drive
belt
completely off the
forward
engine
pulley
(this
is the belt that's on
the upper pulley
furthest
from the
engine).
Then,
reach
underneath
the tiller and move the forward
drive belt fully off
the transmission
pulley.

belt and
pull

remove
it.
Guide it so that it
doesn't
