Maintenance
Auger Belt Replacement
1. Remove the belt cover on the front of the engine by removing
the two self-tapping screws (see Figure 17). Drain the gasoline
from the snow blower, or place a container to catch leakage
from the gas cap.
2. Carefully pivot the snow blower up and forward so that it
rests on the auger housing. Remove the frame cover from the
underside of the snow blower by removing four self-tapping
screws which secure it (see Figure 18).
3. Roll the auger belt off the engine pulley (see Figure 19).
4. Loosen and remove the shoulder screw which restrains the belt
from jumping off of the pulley. Unhook the support bracket
spring from the frame (see Figure 20).
5. Remove the belt from the auger pulley, slip the belt between the
support bracket and the auger pulley (see Figure 21).
6. Attach a new auger belt and reassemble by following the
instructions in reverse order.
