INSTALLING THE CLEVIS PINS
STEP 58: (REFER BACK TO FIGURE 54 ON PAGE 23)
• Lift the front of the snow blower to align the holes in
the mounting plates and the side plates. Insert two
1/2" x 7/8" clevis pins through the holes and secure
them with the 1/8" hairpin cotters.
SETTING THE AUGER BELT TENSION
STEP 59: (SEE FIGURE 57)
• Pull the tensioning chain until the end of the spring is
pulled through the hole in the side of the Clutch/Idler
assembly. Install a 1/8" hairpin cotter through the end
of the spring, securing it on the outside of the Clutch/
Idler assembly.
IMPORTANT:
For correct belt tension,
the 1/8" hairpin
cotter must attach to the end of the spring
, not to the
chain.
NOTE;
To prevent the chain from dragging on the
ground, loop the end of the chain though the pivot lock
pin. Refer to figure 56 on page 23.
