WARNING:
Do not attempt to change the
auger belt without the help of an assistant. It is
very important that one person, standing at the
operating position, firmly hold the snow thrower
housing to prevent it from tipping while the
other person replaces the belt. Failure to
comply may cause injury.
To remove the front auger drive belt, push the idler
pulley to the left. See Figure 32. The belt brake
should move outward. Lift the front auger drive
belt from the front auger pulley.
