Install blower drive belt so blower rotation is clock-
11.
wise when viewed from the operator's position.
To assist with belt installation, tighten the nut on
12.
the threaded spring rod a few turns. This will pull
the fl at idler forward and allow more clearance
with the V-idler. Once belt is in place, loosen the
nut on the threaded spring idler for proper belt
tension.
Install belt guard to blower assembly using ¼"
13.
washers and ¼" wing nuts.
