Replacing the Belt

NOTE: Under normal operating conditions, it should not be

necessary to replace the auger belt. However, should the auger

jam or malfunction, the belt could be damaged. To replace the

belt, follow the instructions.

NOTE: Determine the left and right hand side of the snow

thrower by standing behind the unit in the normal operating

position.

1. Open the left side plate by removing ve screws. (Fig. 26).

2. Use your right hand to turn the rib side of the belt

up and pull upwards while turning the auger pulley

counterclockwise with your left hand. The belt can be

easily removed from the pulley (Fig. 27).

3. Put the belt on the drive pulley rst and then place the

belt at the lower end of the auger pulley (Fig. 28).

4. Use your right hand to press the belt with the ribbed side

down. While holding the belt down with your right hand,

use your left hand to turn the auger forward so that the

auger pulley rotates in a clockwise direction. The belt will

be gradually pushed down onto the pulley. When the belt

is seated on the pulley, adjust it so that the ribs of the belt

match the grooves on the pulley. (Fig. 29).

5. After belt is installed, replace the side plate and secure it

with the ve screws (Fig. 26).

NOTE: Heavy wet snow puts a load on belts, thus

requiring more frequent belt replacement.
