MAINTENANCE

The traction drive belt is held in place on the sheaves by

an idler pulley. To free the belt, the idler can be pulled

from the belt and the belt removed from the sheave.

Activate traction clutch to gain clearance. It may be

necessary to pull back attachment idler arm clevis pin

for additional clearance.

To replace the belts, position on the engine sheave

first, then on the drive sheave. Position the idler

carefully on the belt.

With the belt in position and the idler in place, check

the belt alignment. The engine sheave and the traction

sheave must align with one another WITH THE TRAC

TION CLUTCH ENGAGED. If the sheaves are not

properly aligned, loosen the setscrews on the engine

sheave and align the sheaves. Re-tighten the

setscrews. Recheck the belt alignment WITH THE

TRACTION CLUTCH ENGAGED. Replace spark plug

wire.
