9. Loosen the reverse idler sheave bolt and
slide the idler sheave to the rear to tighten
the belt; slide the sheave forward to loosen
the belt.
NOTE: The belts should be loose enough so that
when the machine is pushed forward while in
neutral, the large sheave on the differential will
turn, but the belts remain stationary. This will
make the machine easier to push and will reduce
current draw.
10.. Tighten the idler sheave bolt.
11. Pull the clutch handle to recheck the position
of the clutch plate bolt. Repeat as necessary
to adjust belt tension.
12.. Check steering effort. After repairing or
replacing drive system parts, effort may
increase due to poor alignment. To correct,
do the following:
A. Loosen the bearing flanges as well as
the split coupling bolts.
B. Snug one split coupling bolt.
C. Align the propelling belts. Check for
clearance between the differential and
the locking collar.
NOTE: Minimum clearance between differential
and sheave is 0.010 in (0.3 mm).
D. While holding belt alignment, pull the
shaft away from the differential.
E. Tighten the left bearing flanges. Check
for hard rotation of shaft.
F. Tighten the left bearing collars.
G. Pull the short differential shaft away
from differential to spread the
differential gears.
H. Tighten the right side bearing flange.
Rap on bearing before tightening.
I. Tighten the right bearing collar.
J. Check for free spinning of differential.
Loosen the center and right bearing
flanges if it is not spinning freely. Rap
and retighten.
K. Align and tighten sprockets. Chains
must be slack to minimize steering
effort.
13. Replace the right side panel and bumper,
and engine access cover.
TO REPLACE PROPELLING BELTS
1. Stop the engine and set the machine
parking brake.
FOR SAFETY: Before Leaving Or Servicing
Machine; Stop On Level Surface, Set Parking
