INSPECTING AND CLEANING THE FAN BELTS AND PULLEYS
1. With the fan belt removed, you can now check and clean it using a mild detergent.
The fan belt will need to be replaced if it is frayed or showing signs of wear.
2. The pulley should also be cleaned with a mild detergent.
3. Rotate the pulley by hand to check for bearing play and wear.
4. Make sure to fully clean the inside area of the large pulley where the pulley meets the
spindle to prevent slippage.
REINSTALLING THE INNER FAN BELT
1. Reinstall the bottom pulley with the recess facing the spindle and housing (see figure
38). Press the spindle lock button (see figure 25) while installing the flange nut and
lock in place.
2. Place the fan belt around the top of the large pulley, guide the other side of the belt
against the small pulley with your index finger while turning the flange nut. After two
or three turns the fan belt should center itself.
3. Reinstall the inner fan belt cover and flat head screw.
