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. 27).
3.
Put the belt on the drive pulley first and then place the
belt at the lower end of the auger pulley (Fig. 28).
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. 29).
5. After belt is installed, replace the side plate and secure it
with the six screws (Fig. 26).
NOTE: Heavy, wet snow puts an increased load on belts,
thus requiring more frequent belt replacement.
Replacing the Pulley
1. Open the left side plate by removing the six screws
(Fig. 26). Remove the belt by following the directions
above (Fig. 30).
