4. Install and/or tighten the hex screws attaching the
auger housing to the main frame. Tighten all fasteners
securely, do not over tighten.
5. With the belt installed on both pulleys and tension
pulley in position, move the belt guide pin to within
3/16 to 3/8 in. from the belt seated in the pulley and
tighten the pin in position.
Note: The belt guide pin helps keep the belt in the pulley
when the belt is disengaged. The pin should not be tight
to the belt. The pin should be loose enough to allow the
belt to spin freely but not allow the belt to jump off the
pulley.

adjustment plate.
7. Adjust auger belt tension; see Auger Cable Tension
Adjustment DB7659.
WARNING - Ensure the belt cover is installed and all
safety guards are in place before the engine is started
and at all times when the engine or machine are
operating.
8. Install belt cover using 2 hex head screws. Make sure
the auger cable is routed outside the belt cover as
shown.
NOTICE: After initial belt installation and adjustment,
re-adjustment of the belt is recommended after a period
of operation. Belt tension should be checked periodically
to ensure proper tension is maintained.
A loose belt will cause:
 Premature belt wear / damage /cracking /
fraying
 Belt slipping (“squealing may also be heard”)
 No or erratic/slow auger operation – poor
performance
A tight belt will cause:
 Premature belt wear / damage / breaking
/stretching
 Belt overheat / burning
 Loss of auger engagement control (always
engaged)
 Tension pulley damage
 Pulley bearing damage
