The transmission belt is tensioned by a spring-loaded
idler pulley. If you must engage or disengage the
belt tension, use a 3/8-inch wrench to rotate the
engage/disengage shaft (

position. Rotating the shaft 1/4-turn (90°) clockwise

You must disengage the belt tension before
removing the transmission cover
Note:
The transmission belt is properly tensioned
when the alignment marks on the transmission cover
and the engagement shaft are aligned.
