Belt Replacement

If the drive belt need to be replaced, it is best to replace both belts
at the same time. Use only a factory-authorized belt as an "over- the-
counter" belt may not perform satisfactorily. The procedure requires
average mechanical ability and commonly available tools.
To replace the Drive and Reverse belts, follow these steps:
1. Make sure the tiller is on a flat surface, with the engine
turned off and the spark plug wire unplugged and
grounded to prevent unintended firing of the engine.
2. Remove the belt cover as seen in "Figure 7-1", by first
removing the two 1⁄4-20 hex washer screws and one flat
washer. Lift the belt cover up and away from the tiller and
set in a safe location until reinstallation.

3. Remove the four hex washer screws that secure the pulley
shield to the frame as seen in "Figure 7-2", and remove the
pulley shield and set aside in a safe location until reinstallation.

4. Remove the idler bracket extension spring, as pointed out in
"Figure 7-3". It is recommended to use a pair of needle-nosed
pliers, and grab the spring by the end that hooks over the
frame. Simply grab it and pull it away from the frame, then
up wards and carefully relieve the tension of the spring.
