SELECT THE CORRECT DRIVE BELT (Electric clutch tractors with a single front deck suspension bracket) STEP 17: (SEE TABLE 1) • Two different length drive belts are included with your snow thrower. Use the table below to select the correct drive belt for your type tractor. The part number is printed on the outside of the belt . • Set aside the belt that is not for your tractor to avoid accidentally using it.

Place the belt to the inside of the idler pulley and the belt keeper bolt located beside the large pulley. • Place tension on the belt by pulling the left side tensioning chain (PP) out as far as the 3/32" hairpin cotter in the chain will allow. Secure the chain in this position by inserting a 1/8" hairpin cotter (KK) through the chain. IMPORTANT: Do Not assemble the drive belt around the outside of the keeper bolt beside the large pulley. • Go to step 48 on page 21. STEP 18: (SEE FIGURE 17) • Turn the clutch/idler assembly right side up. • Slightly loosen the hex bolt next to the flat idler pulley. Install the drive belt down between the hex bolt and the flat idler pulley with the flat side of the belt against the pulley. Retighten the hex bolt. • Loop the belt around the large v-pulley, placing it between the v-pulley and the hex bolt next to the pulley.
