Remove the three hex nuts and lock washers which
attach the auger housing assembly to the frame
assembly on each side. See Figure 14.
WARNING: Do not attempt to change the
auger belt without the help of an assistant.
It is very important that one person,
standing at the operating position, firmly
hold the snow thrower housing to prevent
it from tipping while the other person
replaces the belt. Failure to comply with
this may result in injury.
Figure 14
Standing in the operating position, lift up on the
handles and pull the frame assembly rearward. The
frame and the housing will separate and the rear
auger belt will come off the pulley. Maintain control
of the frame assembly while pulling it.
Remove the two belts from the two engine pulleys.
See Figure 15.
To remove the front auger drive belt, push the idler
pulley to the left. The belt brake should move
outward and lift the front auger drive belt from the
front auger pulley.
Place new belts on the two auger pulleys making
sure that the front auger belt is under the belt brake.
Route belts under and to the left of the flat idler
pulley. Hold the belts upward in this position.
Figure 15
While lifting up on the handles, bring the frame
assembly close to the auger housing and place the
two belts on the front and rear engine pulleys. See
Figure 16.
Figure 16
Level the frame assembly and tip the auger
housing forward to align studs with the
corresponding holes on both sides of the frame
assembly.
NOTE: Use care to avoid pinching the control cable.
From the frame assembly side, insert the six lock
washers and hex nuts previously removed onto the
studs. Tighten nuts securely. See Figure 14.
Reinstall the belt cover on the front of the engine
with the two self-tapping screws and flat washers.
NOTE: Make sure that the auger cable is routed in front
of the belt.
