Figure 34 and
separate auger housing from the frame by tilting the
housing forward and pulling up the handles.
6. Block the impeller with a piece of wood to prevent it from spinning and
use a 1/2” wrench to remove the hex screw and flat washer from the
center of the pulley on the auger housing. See A in Figure 35.
7. Lift the brake bracket assembly out of the pulley groove (B in
Figure 35) and slide the pulley assembly off the posts of the auger
pulley adapter (C) to remove the old belt.

NOTE:
The pulley adapter may slide off the auger input shaft when removing
the pulley. Use extra caution to ensure the adapter does fall and/or get
damaged when removing the pulley.
8. Place the new auger belt in the V-groove of the auger pulley and
place the pulley w/belt inside the belt keepers.
Turn the pulley as necessary to align its three slots approximately
with the posts of the pulley adapter, then pivot the brake bracket
assembly away from the pulley groove. While aligning the pulley
slots and adapter posts, push the auger pulley fully onto the
adapter. Refer to Figure 35. Ensure the brake puck of the brake
bracket assembly aligns and is fully seated in the pulley groove.
4. Loosen the bolt shown in Figure 31 securing the belt keeper
bracket and remove the other bolt. Push the belt keeper and
bracket up off the engine pulley.
