Loosen the tension nut on the large idler pulley. Loosen the tension screws in both the upper and 

lower drive plate. This should then provide enough slack at the drive pulley side to remove the belt. 

 

Remove the 6 screws retaining the belt guards and remove the guards.

 

Tension 

 

Screws

 

Always remove the belt from the drive pulley 

side first. Replace the drive belt by reversing 

the disassembly procedure.

 

NOTE: NEVER POWER THE MACHINE
