Replacing Auger Belt
Tools Required (Not Provided):
• 10 mm wrench (2)
• Needle nose pliers
• Heavy duty gloves
1. Position unit on a hard, at, smooth level surface, with the
battery (or batteries) removed.
2. Use 2 10 mm wrenches to remove the bolts and nuts that
are used to x the right side panel. Then remove the right
side panel to expose the belt, as shown (Fig. 26).
NOTE: The 2 bolts located on the left have 2 nuts on the back,
while the other 4 bolts don't. Use one 10 mm wrench to hold
the left two bolts steady and remove the nuts with the other 10
mm wrench rst, and then remove all the bolts.
3. Use the needle nose pliers to remove the spring from the
hook to release the belt tension (Fig. 27).
4. Remove the drive belt by slowly turning the auger pulley
counterclockwise while pulling the belt outwards (Fig. 28).
5. Install the new drive belt, rotating it onto the pulleys
(Fig. 29).
NOTE: Rotate the new drive belt rst around the engine pulley,
then the idle pulley, and nally around the auger pulley. Slowly
turn the auger pulley clockwise to drive the belt inwards
(Fig. 30).
6. Use needle nose pliers to reinstall the spring onto the
hook to tension the belt. Replace the side panel on the
unit, secure with the original hardware. The snow blower is
ready to use.
