Insert the belt down into the front of the transmission

housing. Slip the top half of the belt onto the reverse idler

arm pulley.
Pull the belt downward and loop the bottom half of the

belt around the front groove of the transmission pulley.
Mount the belt guide between the two flat washers and

tighten snugly. The guide needs adjusting before fully

tightening.
You will need an assistant to help with this step. Pull the

reverse idler pulley up to its highest point and position the

belt guide horizontally level as shown in Fig. 7-7. Securely

tighten the screw and lock nut.

Pull back on the Reverse Clutch Control knob and make

sure that the reverse clutch belt fully contacts the groove

in the engine pulley. Release the knob and make sure that

the belt doesn’t engage the reverse engine pulley. This

may cause the tiller to move in reverse when the Wheel

Gear Lever is engaged. Adjust the cable for less tension if

this condition occurs. See the Maintenance & Adjustments

Section for more information.
Reinstall the belt cover and secure it with the two flange

locknuts.
Test the tiller in an open location.

Tines

The tines will wear with use and should be inspected at the

beginning of each tilling season and after every 30 operating

hours. Tines can be replaced individually or as a complete set.

Never inspect or service the tines unless the engine is stopped

and the spark plug wire is disconnected.
With use, the tines will become shorter, narrower and pointed.

Badly worn tines will result in a loss of tilling depth and reduced

effectiveness when chopping up and turning under organic

matter. Use Fig. 7-8 as a guide to when the tines should be

replaced.
