Replacing And Adjusting The Drive Belt - Husqvarna AR19 Operator's Manual

Replacing and adjusting the drive belt

1. Turn off the engine and remove the drive guard
cover.
2. Remove the drive belt (1).
3. Check for wear on the pulleys and replace as
necessary.
4. Check the alignment of the pulleys by making
sure that they are in line with one another and
with the tensioning pulley (2). If not, correct the
alignment.
5. Fit a new drive belt by first pulling it over the
smaller pulley and then over the larger pulley
(see illustration).
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Many components, including the drive belt
on your Husqvarna lawn aerator, are
specially manufactured for Husqvarna to
maximize durability for many hours of use.
Replace all components using Husqvarna
original spare parts for maximum
performance and lifespan.
6. Make sure that the drive belt is seated in both
pulleys (1).
7. Make sure that the drive belt does not fasten in
the upper belt guide when the tensioning pulley
is tightened. Check that the lawn aerator rolls
freely (with the handle collapsed on model
AR19) when the drive belt is slack. Adjust the
belt guide and the clutch cable length as
necessary.
8. For instructions on clutch adjustment, see
chapter "Maintenance/Replacing the clutch
cable".
9. Refit the drive guard cover.
