MAINTENANCE
Clutch System
Drive Belt Installation
1. Drop the drive belt over the
drive clutch and pull back the
slack. The belt cord line
should be flush with, or
slightly above, the outer cir-
cumference of the driven
clutch sheaves. The belt will
seat itself in the driven clutch
during the break-in period.
Adjust the belt ride-out after
the break-in period by read-
justing belt deflection.
2. To ensure satisfactory belt life, install belts so they operate in the
same direction of rotation by positioning the identification numbers
so that you can read them. If required, separate the sheaves as out-
lined in the belt removal procedures.
3. Turn the driven clutch moveable sheave clockwise while pushing
inward and forcing the belt down between the sheaves.
4. Hold the belt down between the sheaves and roll the bottom portion
over the outer clutch sheave. Work the belt to the outer edge of the
sheave.
5. Rotate the L-wrench to tighten the sheaves. Remove the wrench and
store in the tool kit.
6. Reinstall the side panel.
7. Break in the new belt. See page 69.
