Blade Belt
1. Disconnect the spark plug, and then remove the guards.
2. Remove the master link on the lower drive chain to allow the belt to be slipped past.
3. Loosen the blade drive belt guides by loosening the nut and bolt holding them to the base. Do not complete-
ly remove the nut and bolt, just loosening it will allow the belt guide to be moved far enough back to remove the
blade drive belt from the engine drive pulley.
4. Walk the old belt off of the engine drive pulley and the rear gearbox pulley.
5. In order to remove the belt from the machine you will need to remove the bolt holding the V-groove pulley
onto the belt engagement arm and remove this pulley. In this way, you can now slip the belt out from under the
blade engagement arm.
6. Install the new belt by reversing the steps used to remove the old belt.
7. Place the blade drive belt guides back in their original locations to insure proper operation
8. Reinstall the lower drive chain onto the jackshaft by reinserting the master link.
9. Reinstall the guards.
10. Check for proper operation.
