Check the tension on the auger drive belt
(4). In correct adjustment, the auger drive
belt (4) will deflect 1/2 inch (5) with moder-
ate pressure. If the adjustment is not correct,
repeat the adjustment.
How To Remove the Auger Drive Belt
If the auger drive belt is damaged, the snow
thrower will not discharge snow. Replace the
damaged belt as follows.

After approximately ten hours of operation, a
new belt will stretch and require an adjustment
of the belt tension. Also, if your snow thrower
experiences a loss of power under heavy load,
check the condition of the traction drive belt. If it
is damaged or loose, replace it (see “How To
Replace The Belts” in this section of the manu-
al).

To check for correct adjustment, disconnect
the “Z” fitting (1) from the drive lever (2).
Move the drive lever (2) forward until the
drive lever (2) is contacting the plastic
bumper (3).
7. Remove the old auger drive belt (4) from
the stack pulley (10) and from the auger
drive pulley (11). Replace the auger drive
belt (4) with an original factory replacement
belt available from an authorized service
center.
3.
The control cable is correctly adjusted if the
center of the “Z” fitting (1) is aligned (4)
with the hole in the drive lever (2) and there
in no droop in the cable.
1. Disconnect the spark plug wire.
2. Unlock both left and right wheel locks. See
“How To Use The Wheel Lockout” in the Op-
eration section.

How To Adjust The Belts
The belts will stretch during normal use. If you
need to adjust the belts due to wear or stretch,
proceed as follows.

pulley (12). Move the pulley (12) the maxi-
mum distance away from the traction drive
belt (13) and then tighten the nut on the
pulley (12).
How To Adjust The Auger Drive Belt
If the snow thrower will not discharge snow,
check the adjustment of the auger drive cable.
See “How To Check And Adjust The Cables” in
the Maintenance section. If the adjustment is
correct, then check the condition of the auger
drive belt. If the auger drive belt is damaged,
replace the auger drive belt. See “How To Re-
place The Belts” in the Maintenance section. If
the auger drive belt is loose, adjust as follows.
6. Remove the old traction drive belt (13) from
the smaller stack pulley (10). Then, remove
the stack pulley (10) and old traction drive
belt (13). Replace the traction drive belt

If the belt is too tight, again adjust the
belt. After each adjustment, check the
belt tension before operating.

In correct adjustment, the snow thrower will
not experience a loss of power under heavy
load and the drive will automatically disen-
gage when the traction drive lever is re-
leased
available from an authorized service center.
7. Install the new traction drive belt (13) onto
the traction drive pulley (14) and onto the
engine shaft.
8. Install the stack pulley (10) onto the engine
shaft. Then, mount the traction drive belt
