3.1. GEAR PUMP ASSEMBLY
Refer to Figure 3.1 for assembly.
Note: The engine pulley guard is removed from Figure 3.1 for illustrative purposes only.
1. The over-center (o/c) pump bracket comes pre-assembled and is attached to
the engine block with two 3/8” bolts. Use 1” pump shims to provide a flat
mounting surface for the o/c pump bracket (Figure 3.1).
2. Install the single groove engine pulley and 1/2” x 4-1/2” pump pulley so they
are in line.
3. Install the belt and slide the over-center bracket back to increase tension on
the belt.
4. Tighten the 2 bolts holding the over-center bracket to the engine, then push
down on the over-center handle to lock the belt in place. Allow belt to shift
approximately 3/4” to 1” at the center.
Important: The gear pump placement may be changed, but the pump MUST run counter-
clockwise (when facing pump) at a maximum of 3600 rpm.
Warning: Before continuing, please reread the safety information relevant to this section at the
beginning of this manual. Failure to follow the safety instructions can result in serious injury,
death, or property damage.
CAUTION
Ensure the auger is in the fully lowered
position and on a level surface with the
wheels chocked before proceeding with any
assembly.
