Belt installation
e) Adjust the ball bearing support (bracket) (item 11)
on the belt. Push on the bearing (item 12) to ap-
ply a slight pressure on the back of the belt (just
enough to hold the belt in place). It is normal that
the bearing is off centre (towards the back of the
snowblower) on the pulley. Just make sure that it
does not come into contact with the wall of the
pulley.
Tighten firmly with the knob (item 10).
