TO REPLACE V-BELTS (See Figs. 21 and 22)
Replace V-belts if they have stretched considerably or if
they show cracks or frayed edges. There are two (2) V-
belts - forward (inside) and reverse (outside).
Belt guard must be removed to service belts. See “TO
REMOVE BELT GUARD” in this section of manual.
NOTE
: Observe carefully routing of both belts and location
of all belt guides before removing belts.
BELT REMOVAL
• Remove reverse idler pulley from idler arm.
• Remove reverse (outside) V-belt.
• Remove forward (inside) V-belt from transmission pul-
ley first and then from engine pulley.
BELT REPLACEMENT
• Install new forward (inside) V-belt to engine pulley first
then to transmission pulley. Be sure belt is positioned
on inside groove of both pulleys, inside all belt guides
and rests on idler pulley.
• Before installing reverse (outside) V-belt, turn belt
“in side out”. Twist so wide, flat surface of belt is to

SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS
TINE OPERATION CHECK (See Fig. 20)
WARNING: Disconnect spark plug wire
from spark plug to prevent starting while
checking tine operation.
For proper tine operation, forward tine control lever must be
against control body and all slack removed from inner wire
of control cable when control is in the “OFF” (up) position.
If lever and cable are loose, loosen cable clip at lower
end of cable. Pull up on cable to remove slack, without
extending spring on end of cable, and retighten cable clip.
FINAL CHECK “OFF” POSITION
• With tine control “OFF” (up), push down on handle to
raise tines off the ground.
• Slowly pull recoil starter handle while observing tines.
Tines should not rotate.
• If tines rotate, inner wire of control cable is too tight
which is extending lower spring and engaging tines.
Loosen cable clip and push down on cable only enough
to relieve spring tension. Tighten cable clip.
• Recheck in “OFF” position and adjust if necessary.
FINAL CHECK “ON” POSITION
• With tine control “ON” (held down to handle) push
down on handle to raise tines off the ground.
• Slowly pull recoil starter handle while observing tines.
Tines should rotate forward.
• If tines do not rotate, inner wire of control cable is too
loose. Loosen cable clip and pull cable up to remove
slack and retighten clip.
• Recheck in “ON” position and adjust if necessary.
NOTE:
If “ON” position check required adjustment, re-
check “OFF” position adjustment to insure tines do not
rotate when control is “OFF” (up).
