Installing the Belt 

1.

 

Install the end of the Belt around the Engine Pulley from the left side of the 
machine with the small black arrow on the Belt pointing up (

Figure 28

). 

2.

 

Assemble the end of the Belt as described in “Assembling the Belt Links” 
section on the previous page. 

3.

 

Position the Belt around the right side of the Drive Pulley First and between 
the Pulley and Bracket second (

Figure 29

). 

Note:  

Do not install the Belt into the left side Pulley groove at this time so the Drive 

Pulley Assembly can be installed easier in the next step. 

4.

 

Install the Drive Pulley Assembly to the frame with the two Bolts (Ensure the 
Spacer is in place) (

Figure 21

). 

5.

 

Install the Pivot Stop Rod (

Figure 20

) ensuring that the Rod goes through 

the Spring at the bottom of the Drive Pulley Assembly and the Rod is 
between the Tabs (

Figure 30

). 

6.

 

Install the Front Cover with the top lip facing forward (

Figure 19

). 

7.

 

Install the Belt Cover (

Figure 18

). 

Horizontal Air Discharge - Inline Cable Adjustment 

Your Cables may need to be adjusted if: 

 

There is looseness at the Lever:  The Chute is not moving immediately when 
you move the Lever.  There is some slack in the line that needs to be 
removed. 

 

The Chute isn’t rotating 180 degrees.  There is some slack in the line that 
needs to be removed. 

 

The Lever is difficult to move: The Cables are set too tight, causing friction 
and resistance in the system. Lengthen the cable/s to relieve the tension. 

1.

 

Locate the Inline Adjusters along the right and left Handlebar (

Figure 31

). 

Note:

  You may need to tighten or loosen both Inline Adjusters or tighten one and 

loosen the other to get the desired result. 

2.

 

Rotate the center portion clockwise while holding the ends stationary to 
expand the Inline Adjuster and remove slack from the cable. 

3.

 

Rotate the center portion counterclockwise while holding the ends stationary 
to shorten the Inline Adjuster and add length to the cable. 

Vertical Air Discharge - Inline Cable Adjustment 

If the Vertical rotation seems to be lessening, tighten Inline Adjuster as 
described above (

Figure 31

). 

Traction Drive - Inline Cable Adjustment 

If the Traction Drive is slipping excessively, tighten Inline Adjuster as described 
above (

Figure 31

).
