Place a bloc
k of wood underneath the auger housing as
shown in Fig. 7-6 and separate auger housing from the
transmission frame by tilting the housing forward and
pulling up the handles.
6. Block the impeller with a piece of wood to prevent
from spinning and use a 1/2” wrench to remove the
hex screw and flat washer from the center of the auger
input shaft and auger pulley adapter. Refer to Fig. 7-7.
7. Lift the brake bracket assembly out of the pulley groove
and slide the pulley assembly off the posts of the auger
pulley adapter to remove the old belt. Refer to Fig. 7-7.
NOTE:
The pulley adapter may slide off the auger input
shaft when removing the pulley. Use extra caution to
ensure the adapter does not fall and 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.
9.
Turn the pulley as necessary to align its three slots with
the posts of the pulley adapter, then move the brake
