When necessary to cut up close to a barrier, invert and remount the arm so
the wheel is on the outboard side.
1. Refer to "V-belt Change and Adjustment" to remove the belt. This time,
remove the arm mounting nuts, the long plate and the two spacer washers.
2. Use the parts removed in step one to remount the arm – this time in the
inverted position.
3. Push the wheel shield and arm through loop of the V-belt. Follow
instructions to mount and tension the V-belt.
4. Reinstall all parts previously removed, and tension the belt.
1. Move ignition switch down "STOP" position.
2. Remove wheel shield adjusting knob, the lock
washer and two flat washers.
3. Remove rear arm cover and front arm cover.
(Save the seven screws.)
4. Use the 13 mm end of the box wrench to loosen
arm mounting nuts just a little.
5. Remove belt tension (with 10 mm open end
wrench) by turning the nut counterclockwise as
far as it will travel.
6. Push arm towards small pulley. Pull belt off
pulley at point (B) and slip new belt onto large
pulley. At point (A), start belt over the rim and
onto the small pulley.
7. Turn the tension adjusting nut clockwise finger
tight. Then reinstall the covers. Turn the adjusting
nut until a part of the spring seat is hidden by the
forward edge of the peep window.
8. Lightly swing the tip of the arm up and down
several times. This sets the tension automatically.
9. Tighten the arm mounting nuts fully, and reinstall
the wheel shield adjusting knob.
