4. Install the belt cover by placing it in position.
5. While maintaining a slight gap between the cover
seal and the side plate, install each mounting bolt
until the threads engage in the insert. The gap allows
visual alignment of the bolts to the threaded inserts.
6. After all bolts are installed, tighten them until the
stand-offs inside the cover contact the side plate. Do
not overtighten.
Adjusting the Traction Drive Belt
1. Remove the belt cover mounting fasteners and the
belt cover to expose the belt (Figure 26).

2. Check the tension by pressing the belt at mid span of
the pulleys (Figure 27) with 3 to 5 lb (1.5 to 2.3 kg)
of force. The belt should deflect 1/4 inch (0.63 cm).

the idler pulley clockwise against the backside of
the belt until the desired belt tension is attained
(Figure 27).
Important: Do not over tension the belt.

Adjusting the Differential Belt
1. Remove the bolts securing the front and rear sections
of the differential cover to the differential housing
and slide the cover sections away to expose the belt.
2. Check the tension by pressing the belt at mid span
of the pulleys (Figure 28) with 4 to 6 lb of force. The
belt should deflect 1/4 inch (0.63 cm).
