TO ADJUST
THE DRIVE BELT
If the motor drive pulley and the auger drive
pulley are not aligned properly, excessive
belt wear will occur. To check the pulley
alignment, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the belt cover (see "To Remove
Belt Cover").
2. Place a straight edge approximately
16"
tong across the large auger pulley, con-
tacting two points and extending to the
motor pulley (see Figure 11 ). The outside
of the motor pulley must be flush with the
straight edge. If the pulleys are aligned,
skip to the last step).
