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
circumference 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 readjusting belt deflection.
Tip: 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 outlined in the belt
removal procedures.
2. Rotate the L-wrench counter-clockwise to tighten the sheaves while
working the belt to the outer edge of the sheaves.
3. Remove the wrench.
4. Reinstall the side panel.
5. Close and secure the hood.
6. Break in the new belt. See page 76.
