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.

For location of the belts, see Figure 17.
