Fig. #18, Proper beaterbar belt orientation

1. Remove the belt guard covering the beater bar. Never run

the machine with the belt cover off.

2. Remove the chipper blade access cover.

3. Remove chipper blades from the rotor.

4. Loosen the three belt guides.

5. Remove the idler pivot bolt.

6. Insert the new belt into the rotor housing and hook into

one of the chipper slots in the rotor. Rotate the rotor to
move the belt above the fan. Be sure the belt goes under
the fan blades and on top of the fan.

7. Remove the old belt. The easiest way is to cut the belt

and slide it out.

8. Pull the excess new belt to the rear of the machine and

slide it onto the bottom pulley.

9. Position the belt correctly. Slide it under the belt guides,

around the idler pulleys, and over the beaterbar pulley.

10. Engage the bail and set the position of the beaterbar

belt guide. There should be 1/8” of clearance between
the belt guide and the belt.

11. Reinstall the idler pivot bolt.

12. Reattach the belt covers and operate the unit as in-

structed.
