DRIVE BELTS AND REPLACEMENT
WARNING
The snowthrower has two drive belts, one for the
Traction Drive—which transmits engine power to the
wheels, and a second for the Auger Drive—which trans-
mits engine power to the auger mechanism.
Snowthrower must move only when the traction
Drive Control is depressed, and must stop when
the lever is released (disengaged).
Each of these drive belts are of special construction and
should be replaced only with Genuine Replacement
Belts which match the original equipment belts. These
are available from your dealer. (See COMMON
REPLACEMENT PARTS at the back of this manual for
the correct part numbers for each of the belts.)
