DRIVE BELT

See General Warnings on page 1-2.
The drive belt should be inspected semiannually for wear and (or) glazing. If it is excessively worn, frayed, or
glazed, replace the belt.
As the drive belt wears, the engine RPM will increase to compensate for the change in torque converter ratio. This will
keep the vehicle's maximum ground speed correct. Section 2 — Vehicle Specifications

DRIVE BELT REMOVAL

1. Disconnect battery and spark plug wire(s).
See Disconnecting the Battery- Gasoline Vehicles on page 1-3.
2. Grasp the belt midway between the drive (2) and driven (1) clutches. Lift upward on the belt to force the sheaves
of the driven clutch (1) apart, then roll the belt off the driven clutch by rotating the clutch counterclockwise
(Figure 23-2, Page 23-3). See following CAUTION.
CAUTION
• Make sure fingers are not underneath the belt when rolling the belt off the driven clutch.
3. Remove the belt from the drive clutch (2).
