To install the belt over the top gear on the ABM International Innova 22:
1. Remove the guard plate by unscrewing the four screws on either side of the machine. 2. Mark the motor drive pulley with a pencil for reference. 3. Loosen the four screws on the motor mount and lower the motor to its lowest position. 4. Hold the motor pulley so the mark stays in place. 5. Turn the sewing head drive shaft counter-clockwise (from the rear of the machine). 6. Jump the belt onto the motor pulley until the needle reaches its highest point and the take-up lever is about ¾ inch from the top of the slot.
