6. Assemble the short "V" belt onto the engine pulley
and then onto the large pulley on top of the clutch/idler
assembly. The belt must be placed to the inside of the
engine pulley keeper, the idler pulley and the keeper
bolt located beside the large pulley. See fi gure 22.
7. Place tension on the belt by pulling the left side tensioning
chain out as far as the 5/64" hairpin cotter will allow.
Secure the chain in this position by inserting a 1/8"
hairpin cotter through the chain. See fi gure 22.
IMPORTANT: Do Not
assemble the "V" belt around the
outside of the engine pulley keeper or the keeper bolt.

NOTE: Be sure the lift release cable's plastic covering
remains inserted into the trigger assembly while performing
the next step.
2. Push the lift handle down into the locked position. Insert
the end of the cable wire into the hole in the lift rod.
Place the threaded fi tting into the slot in the lift bracket,
with one hex nut above and one hex nut and the lock
washer below the slot. Tighten the nuts, adjusting them
to eliminate slack in the cable wire. See fi gure 24. Refer
also to the Service and Adjustments section on page 20
in this manual.
HINT: For easier assembly of the lift release cable, tilt the
snow thrower forward onto the spiral auger.
