7.10 REPLACING THE BELT

Before replacing the belt on your unit, make

sure you have performed the “Pressure Relief

Procedure” as illustrated in the Operation section

of this manual. DO NOT attempt this repair while

the unit is running.

The graphics below show a unit with a gas

engine. All instructions given in this section will

apply to both gas engine models and electric

motor models except where noted.

1. Remove the three screws and washers (1) that secure the

top shroud (2) to the cart frame. Remove the shroud.

2. Remove the front screw (3) and the bottom screw (4) that

secures the lower shroud to the main unit. Remove the

entire shroud.

3. Carefully insert the driver end of a screwdriver in between

the belt and upper pulley as shown (g. 31).

4. With the screwdriver in place, use your other hand to

manually turn the belt and pulleys counterclockwise.

Allow the screwdriver to follow the motion of the pulley

and pry the belt outward at the same time. Continue to

turn the pulley approximately 1/2 turn and the belt will

slide o the upper pulley with the help of the screwdriver.

PINCH HAZARD. Make sure your ngers remain

clear of the contact area between the screwdriver

and the pulley. Do not allow your ngers to get

between the belt and pulley as it turns.

BURN HAZARD. Make sure the gas engine has

had time to suciently cool before touching it.

REINSTALLATION

1. Loop the the new belt over the top pulley until the belt

engages the pulley groove.

2. Allow the belt to hang from the top pulley. With your

hand, hold the belt in place in approximately the 3:00

position on the lower pulley groove.

3. Use your other hand to manually turn the upper pulley

clockwise. Allow the hand holding the belt on the lower

pulley to follow the motion. The motion of the pulley and

the placement of your hand over the belt on the lower

pulley will allow the the belt to slide into place on the

lower pulley.

tention

Make sure the belt is not pinched or twisted in

any way.

4. Reverse steps 1-2 to reassemble the unit.
