1. Remove the belt cover (see "To Remove

2. Place a straight edge approximately 16"
long across the large auger pulley, con-
tacting two points and extending to the
motor pulley (see Figure 12). The outside
of the motor pulley must be flush with the
straight edge. If the pulleys are aligned,
skip to the last step).
