ing in a forward motion.

6. Locate the L-wrench in the tool kit. Install the wrench into the open
threaded hole in the outer sheave of the clutch (+).
7. Turn the wrench clockwise until the sheaves open far enough to
remove the belt. If the wrench does not turn readily, rotate the

nents during belt removal. Rotate the driven clutch counterclockwise 1/4 turn
by hand to ensure forward engagement before attempting to remove the belt.
