B
DRIVE BELT
Removing the Drive Belt
With the vehicle on level ground, remove the drive belt
by pulling the belt upwards which will cause the driven
clutch sheaves to open and loosen the belt tension (Ref.
Fig. 3 on Page J-4). The belt may then be rolled off the
driven clutch.

Drive Belt Service
The drive belt will require no service unless the vehicle
has been operated in an extremely dusty or muddy loca-
tion in which case it should be washed with plain water.
If the belt becomes frayed or badly worn, it must be
replaced.
STORAGE
If the vehicle is to be out of service for an extended
period of time, the clutches should
not
be coated with
any protecting spray. The drive clutch sheaves may
develop some surface rust which will be removed within
a few minutes of running time. The driven clutch is alu-
minum and requires no treatment.
