i) Reinstall the roller chain with the connecting link.

k) After installing the belts, make sure the belts are
inside the pins (item 4). You may run the engine
without the belt guard but only to verify the belt
alignment. Do not leave the snowblower without
supervision. Neither you or anyone else must
approach the moving parts. Engage and
disengage the snowblower to verify if the belts are
well aligned, especially on the idler pulley.
Make
sure to hold the switch long enough so that the
pulley sits well on the belts.
If necessary, you
can add or remove a flat washer on the idler pulley
for final adjustments.
l) Reinstall the belt guard.
