Replacing the Belt (Fig. 24)
Before replacing the belt on your unit, make sure
you have performed the "Pressure Relief Procedure"
as illustrated in the Operation section of this manual.
DO NOT attempt this repair while the unit is running.
The graphics below show a unit with a gas engine.
i
All instructions given in this section will apply to
both gas engine models and electric motor models
except where noted.
1. Loosen the bolt (1) on the front of the belt guard. Lift open
the front end of the belt guard (2) so that the front end of the
belt (3) is exposed.
2. Gently lift the front end of the gas engine / electric motor.
This will loosen the tension on the belt and make it easier to
remove.
PINCH HAZARD. Make sure your fingers remain clear
of the gas engine / electric motor mounting plate.
BURN HAZARD. Make sure the gas engine has had
time to sufficiently cool before touching it.

3. While the gas engine / electric motor is lifted up, remove the
belt from the front (4) and rear (5) pulleys.
4. Install the new belt:
a.
Insert the belt into the fixed section of the belt guard (6). Loop
the belt over the rear pulley (5) until the belt engages the
pulley groove.
b.
Gently lift the front end of the gas engine / electric motor.
c.
With the front end of the gas engine / electric motor lifted, loop
the other end of the belt around the front pulley (4).
d.
Gently set the the gas engine / electric motor down. The
weight of the gas engine / electric motor will create tension in
the belt and prevent it from coming off.
Make sure the belt is not pinched or twisted in any
way once you have set the gas engine / electric
motor back into place.
Attention
e.
Close the belt guard (2) and tighten the belt guard bolt (1).
