4. Using the 1/2” socket or wrench, loosen (do not
remove) the four nylock nuts locking down the
engine until the engine slides freely.
5. Slide the engine back enough to remove and
replace the belts as necessary.
6. Roll the new belt on one groove at a time on both
the top and bottom pulleys.
7. Using the straight edge, lay it across the lower
pulley outer face and against the upper pulley. They
must be directly over top of each other to ensure
long belt life. If adjustment is required, align before
tensioning the belt.
NOTE: It may be necessary to remove the belt guard
support bracket in order to get the straight edge flush on
the pulleys. Do this using a 13mm socket or wrench.
8. Verify pulleys are properly aligned, tighten
everything down and re-check pulley alignment one
last time.
