instruction. If not, reposition the transmission frame back onto
the auger housing. Install the drive belt on the engine pulley,
re-connect the auger cable “Z” fitting and auger idler rod ferrule
to the brake bracket. Reposition and secure the engine pulley
belt guard, and re-install the belt cover.
NOTE: Make sure to remove the piece of wood blocking the impeller.

To adjust, disconnect ferrule from brake bracket assembly. Thread
ferrule in (towards idler) to increase tension on belt, or out to decrease
belt tension.
