HOW TO REPLACE THE BELTS
The drive belts are of special construction and must be
replaced with original factory replacement belts available
from your nearest authorized service center.

How To Remove the Auger Drive Belt
If the auger drive belt is damaged, the snow thrower will not
discharge snow. Replace the damaged belt as follows.

2. Loosen the
bolts on each side of the bottom panel (see
Figure 38).
3. Remove the bottom panel.
4. Remove screw from belt cover . Remove the belt cover
(see Figure 36).
5. Loosen the auger belt guide. Pull the auger belt guide
away from the auger drive pulley (see Figure 40).
6. Pull the idler pulley away from the auger drive belt and
slip the auger drive belt off of the idler pulley .
7. Remove the auger drive belt from the engine pulley. To
remove the auger drive belt, the engine pulley may
have to be partially rotated.

housing and the motor box . Loosen the bottom two
bolts. The auger housing and the motor box can now
be split apart for removal of the belt (see Figure 39).

pulley . Replace the auger drive belt with an original
factory replacement belt available from an authorized
