1.  Open the left side plate by removing the 

five

 screws  

(Fig. 3

8).

2.  Use your right hand to turn the rib side of the belt 

up and pull upwards while turning the auger pulley 

counterclockwise with your left hand. The belt can be 

easily removed from the pulley (Fig. 39).

3. 

Put the belt on the drive pulley first and then place the 

 

belt at the lower end of the auger pulley (Fig. 40).

4.  Use your right hand to press the belt with the ribbed side 

down. While holding the belt down with your right hand, 

use your left hand to turn the auger forward so that the 

auger pulley rotates in a clockwise direction. The belt will 

be gradually pushed down onto the pulley. When the belt 

is seated on the pulley, adjust it so that the ribs of the belt 

match the grooves on the pulley (Fig. 41).

5.  After the belt is installed, replace the side plate and secure 

it with the five screws (Fig. 38).

  NOTE: Heavy wet snow puts a load on belts, thus 

requiring more frequent belt replacement.
