Transmission Belt Tensioner
The transmission belt is tensioned by a spring loaded idler
pulley. If the belt tension has to be engaged/disengaged, use a
3/8 inch wrench to rotate the engage/disengage shaft (Figure
43) to the desired position. Rotating the shaft 1/4 turn
clockwise will disengage the idler from the belt (Figure 44).
Note: The belt tension must be disengaged prior to
removing the transmission cover.
Note: The transmission belt is properly tensioned when
the alignment marks on the transmission cover and the
engagement shaft are aligned.
