Checking V-belt
To ensure optimum power transmission from the engine to the eccentric shaft, the V-belt must be in good
condition.
1.
Turn off the engine. Engine must be cool before checking the V-belt.
2.
Remove the belt guard to access the V-belt.
3.
Check the V-belt. If the V-belt is cracked, frayed, or glazed, it should be replaced as soon as
convenient.
Changing V-belt
4.
Remove the four bolts securing the belt guard.
5.
Release the spring from tension pulley hook to void the belt tension.
6.
Slip the old V-belt off of the wheel pulley and install the new V-belt in its place.
As the clearance between exciter pulley and engine deck is small, a spark plug sleeve is
helpful for installing the new V-belt.
7.
Position the V-belt over the engine pulley and tension pulley.
8.
Hook the released spring securing the tension pulley to its original position and check if the V-belt
tension is correct.
9.
Replace the belt guard.
When removing or installing the drive belt, be careful not to get your fingers caught between
the belt and pulley.
