be tight to the belt. The pin should be loose enough to allow the belt to spin freely but not allow the belt to
jump off the pulley.

started and at all times when the engine or machine are operating.
AUGER BELT AND RELATED COMPONENT INSPECTION
When replacing your snow blower auger belt, it is important to determine the cause of the failure (if
applicable) and take corrective action to avoid repeated failure.
Inspect the belt:
• Correct size and type
• Missing pieces
• Burning
• General damage
Inspect the auger pulleys:
• Broken sheave or hub

• Bent or "out-of-round" condition (pulley doesn't spin true)
• Misaligned pulleys
• Foreign material on pulleys, oil, grease, dirt, etc.
• Misaligned tension pulley
• Tension pulley loose or damaged
• Tension pulley and arm assembly operation
• Does the tension arm move freely both engaged and disengaged directions without binding?
• Misaligned tension pulley, the pulley should move parallel to the belt centered to the belt
• Check return spring operation and tension
Inspect the auger control lever (handle) and cable:
• Cable and connection damage
• Free movement (from engage to disengaged positions)
• Binding or improperly routed cable
• Cable pulley(s) damage, misalignment and binding
• Cable adjustment plate damaged or improper installation
