7. Route the drive belt as shown in Figure 31. Note
that the back of the belt rides in the back-side idlers
(B).
NOTE: The snowthrower hitch pin (E) goes in
between the belt, NOT below or above it.
8. With the snowthrower drive belt installed, the trun-
nion (A, Figure 32) should be between the marks (G)
on spring tension bracket (B) for correct belt tension.
Turn belt tension handle (C) to move trunnion for-
ward or rearward until between marks.
If trunnion cannot be placed between marks, loosen
capscrew (D) and reposition idler pulley (E) as nec-
essary. The pivot bracket (F) should be perpendicu-
lar to snowthrower hitch.
