MAINTENANCE
Clutch System
Drive Belt Installation
1. Drop the drive belt over the
drive clutch and pull back
the slack.
Tip: To ensure satisfactory belt life,
install belts so they operate in
the same direction of rotation
by positioning the identification
numbers so that you can read
them. If required, separate the
sheaves as outlined in the belt
removal procedures.
2. Turn the driven clutch
moveable sheave clockwise
while pushing inward and forcing the belt down between the
sheaves.
3. Hold the belt down between
the sheaves and roll the bot-
tom portion over the outer
clutch sheave. Work the belt
to the outer edge of the
sheave.
4. Rotate the L-wrench to
tighten the sheaves. Remove
the wrench and store in the
tool kit.
5. Close the clutch guard and
reinstall the retaining pin.
6. Close and secure the hood and release the parking brake.
