BELT ADJUSTMENT
Traction Drive Belt
The traction drive belt has constant
spring pressure and does not require
an adjustment. If the traction drive belt
is slipping, replace the belt. See "How
To Replace The Belts" in the Service
And Adjustment section.
Auger Drive Belt
If your snow blower will not discharge
snow, check the control cable adjust-
ment. If it is correct, then check the

damaged or loose, replace it (see "How
To Replace The Belts" in this section of
the manual).
