Note: Blade, and drive belts and chains are normal wear items. See Fig. 4 for Chain configuration. These should be inspected
on a regular basis and replaced if worn. Also see your Billy Goat Dealer for servicing your machine.

BELT REPLACEMENT

Note: See Fig. 3 for belt configuration
Switch off the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire before carrying out any
maintenance or repair work on the machine.
If a belt is worn or breaks it should be replaced as follows:
Remove all of the metal guards (items 15, 16, 21 and 17) to allow easier access to
the pulleys and belts.
Note: see pages 11, 13, 15, 17 and 19 for part illustrations
BLADE BELT
1. Disconnect the spark plug, and then remove the guards.
2. Remove the master link on the drive chain (Item 133) to allow the belt (item
132) to be slipped past.
3. Loosen the tension on the pulley (item 35) by loosening the nut and bolt
holding it to the base. Do not completely remove the nut and bolt, as loosening
it will allow the pulley to shift.
4. Walk the old belt off of the clutch (item 18) if necessary.
5. Replace with the new belt and reapply tension to it on the pulley loosened in
step 3 then tighten it. Do not put too much tension on the belt as this will lead
to premature wear.
6. Reinstall the chain onto the wheel drive by reinserting the master link.
7. Reinstall the guards.
8. Check for proper operation.
