Blower Installation
3. Check the belt tension by measuring the distance
from the center of the v-idler pulley (A, Figure 14)
mounting bolt and the blower housing. This should
measure between 3 - 3-3/8" (7,6 - 8,6 cm).
4. If measurement falls outside of this range, you must
move the idler pulley (B) either forward or back to
achieve the proper belt tension.
NOTE: If pulley position needs to be adjusted, make
sure that it is reinstalled in the same row of holes as
determined in the blower assembly (Step 9, page 7).
