3. To replace the big pulley, remove the screw and washer from the middle of the
pulley. While securing the paddle, so it does not spin, use a 7/ 8-inch socket
to turn the outer nut of the pulley clockwise (the pulley is left-handed, so
loosening and tightening occur in reverse orientation; clockwise to loosen and
counterclockwise to tighten). Once the old pulley is removed, replace the big
pulley and tighten the outer nut counterclockwise with the 7/ 8-inch socket.
Replace and tighten the screw and washer (Fig. 34).
NOTE: Heavy wet snow puts a load on belts, thus requiring more frequent
belt replacement.
4. To install the new belt, lift the belt tension and roll the new belt onto the little
pulley at an angle. Then roll the belt onto the top of big pulley by rotating the big
pulley counterclockwise as the belt grips the top of the big pulley (Fig. 34).
5. Replace the left panel of the snow blower with all screws (Fig. 33).
AUTOMATIC RESET
This snow blower has built-in automatic reset functions. In the event of a major
obstruction that halts paddle movement, simply unplug your unit, clear the paddle
obstruction, wait 60 seconds, and then resume use of your machine.
