6. Slide the speed adjusting handle to the right (Fig. 31A) and
remove the loose belt by cutting it or any remaining belt
pieces if the belt has already broken (Fig. 31B).
If cutting the belt be careful of the tensioning pulley and arm
as they are spring loaded and could cause injury when the
belt is cut.

7. Slip the new auger drive belt into the compartment from the
bottom of the snowblower placing it around the bottom of the
auger drive pulley and slipping it around the front pulley on
the engine. Ensure the belt is positioned between the bottom
belt guard and the bottom of the auger drive pulley. You may
need to remove the bolt holding the lower belt guard in place
to properly seat the belt into the pulley. Replace the belt
guard and bolt after installing the belt into the pulley
(Fig. 32A/B).
