.
5. Loosen rear nuts holding central plate (do not remove them).
6. Remove front nuts holding central plate.
7. Lift the front of the central plate and remove old belts.
8. Replace new belts
(see fig. 14)
. Loop the first belt over the left spindle and
around the lower groove of the centre spindle pulley and the lower groove of the
gearbox drive pulley. The second belt connects the upper grooves of the centre
spindle pulley and the gearbox drive pulley with the right spindle pulley.
