8. Check pulley alignment. Place a straightedge across
the face of both pulleys to inspect. If necessary,
loosen the set screws on both pulleys and move them
so that they are directly in line. Be sure that the idler
pulley contacts near the center of the belt. Retighten
the pulley set screws.
9. Replace upper and lower belt guards. Allow 1/8 inch
clearance between top of belt and inside of lower belt
guard. Make sure all bolts, nuts and fasteners are
properly torqued to 20 ft-lbs.
With a new drive belt, the rotor may rotate with the
engagement handle in START position. Within a
short period, the belt will relax and the rotor should
disengage. If the rotor does not disengage even
after a short period, check pulley alignment and idler
mechanism or return to your dealer for service.
