Basket Pulley
NOTE: Both back braces have been
removed for visual clarity, they do not need
to be removed to remove the belt. If they
are removed for any purpose, do not move
or lean on the washer or the side panels will
be damaged.

DRIVE BELT

n The drive belt is a ribbed, fiber reinforced
belt.
n NOTE: A new belt may seem too small to be
installed, but it will stretch into place.
n Make sure the belt rides entirely in the
grooves of the pulley and not on the front
or back of the pulley where there are no
grooves.
