Figure 24D

4. Carefully pivot the snowblower up and forward so that it rests

on the auger housing. Place a piece of cardboard or moving

blanket on the ground before tipping forward. Make sure all

ﬂuids are removed and spark plug is disconnected.

5. Remove the base frame cover (1) from the underside of the

snowblower by removing the six M6 × 16 screws which

secure it (Fig 25).

6. Slide the speed adjusting handle to the right (Fig. 26A) and

remove the loose belt by cutting it or any remaining belt

pieces if the belt has already broken (Fig. 26B).

If cutting the belt be careful of the tensioning pulley and arm

as they are spring loaded and could cause injury when the

belt is cut.

7. Slip the new auger drive belt into the compartment from the

bottom of the snowblower placing it around the bottom of the

auger drive pulley and slipping it around the front pulley on

the engine. Ensure the belt is positioned between the bottom

belt guard and the bottom of the auger drive pulley. You may

need to remove the bolt holding the lower belt guard in place

to properly seat the belt into the pulley. Replace the belt

guard and bolt after installing the belt into the pulley

(Fig. 27A/B).
