MAINTENANCE Clutch System Drive Belt Installation 1. Drop the drive belt over the drive clutch and pull back the slack. The belt cord line should be flush with, or slightly above, the outer circumference of the driven clutch sheaves. The belt will seat itself in the driven clutch during the break-in period. Adjust the belt ride-out after the break-in period by readjusting belt deflection. Tip: To ensure satisfactory belt life, install belts so they operate in the same direction of rotation by positioning the identification numbers so that you can read them. If required, separate the sheaves as outlined in the belt removal procedures. 2. Rotate the L-wrench counterclockwise to tighten the sheaves while working the belt to the outer edge of the sheaves. 3. Remove the wrench. 4. Close the clutch guard and reinstall the retaining pin. 5. Close and secure the hood and release the parking brake. 6. Break in the new belt. See page 48. 84

Tip:
To ensure satisfactory belt life, install belts so they operate in the same
direction of rotation by positioning the identification numbers so that you
can read them. If required, separate the sheaves as outlined in the belt
removal procedures.
