DRIVE PULLEY AND ROTOR
BEARING
The drive pulley must be removed to
gain access to the rotor bearing or to
remove the brake package.
To Remove Pulley:
1. Remove drive and pump belts and
rubber cap covering hub of pulley.
2. Remove screw and washer from
bottom of drive shaft.
3. Remove the splined drive lug from
the drive shaft.
4. Turn pulley counterclockwise to
remove it from the hel ical shaft. The
rotor bearing is located above the
drive pulley.
Note: There is a top and bottom to
the rotor bearing. When it is posi-
tioned correctly, the top of the
bearing and the pulley hub will be
about even. If you put the rotor
bearing on upside down. you will
have no brake.
Note: Whe.nlhe drive pulley is
replaced, the drive lug must be properly
positioned.
To Adjust Drive Lug:
Turn the drive pulley onto the shaft
clockwise until all play is taken up.
Holding the pulley in this position, the
distance between drive and pulley lugs
should be 3/8". Turn pulley counter-
clockwise and check to see that the
drive lug and pulley are making contact.
