Turn the driven clutch moveable sheave clockwise while pushing inward and forcing the belt down between the sheaves. 3. Hold the belt down between the sheaves and roll the bottom portion over the outer clutch sheave. Work the belt to the outer edge of the sheave. 4. Rotate the L-wrench to tighten the sheaves. Remove the wrench and store in the tool kit. 5. Close the clutch guard and reinstall the retaining pin. 6. Close and secure the hood and release the parking brake. 93
