HOW TO CHANGE BELTS WITHOUT REMOV-
ING THE ENGINE FROM YOUR TILLER
CAUTION:Before changing the belt, shut off
the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire
as a safety precaution.
It's easy to change belts on your tiller if you
follow a few simple steps.
TO REMOVE BI;LTS
1. Shift the Forward/Reverse Lever (part #1134)
into Forward position. Remove the mounting
bolt and the metal plate in front of the reverse
disc (part #1072)-see Photos 7/17 and 7/18.
To
remove the top pulley mounting bolt, use
a 9/16" closed-end wrench and a hammer.
Stand on the left of the tiller, put the wrench on
the bolt and give the wrench a sharp
tap
down-
ward. This should loosen the bolt enough for it
to come out easily. If the bolt doesn't loosen
easily, insert a large screwdriyer or wood stick
between the upper pulley and the hole in the
side of the motor mount. Pull up to prevent the
pulley from rotating while you tap down to
loosen the mounting bolt.
On the back of the shifting block (part #1133),
there is a bolt
~sed
to make adjustments of belt
tension (shown in Photo 7/19). Loosen the bolt
enough so that the block itself moves up freely
when you use the shift lever, When the block
has been raised, retighten the bolt finger tight.
Do not remove the bolt or block entirely.
NOTE: On electric start tillers, at this point, you
should disconnect first the bolt and cable from
the positive terminal of the battery and then dis-
connect the negative cable from the lower end
of the 9 inch bolt on the bracket. While the nut
is off the 9 inch bolt on the right, loosen the left
hold-down bolt. Remove the battery and place
it aside to give you working room. Be careful
to note that the battery goes back on with the
positive terminal on the left side of the tiller
(viewed from operator's position).
