Inspecon & Replacement of the
Impeller / Collector Belts
The impeller / collector belts are also located under
the belt guard between the engine and impeller.
Follow the procedure below to inspect or replace the
belts. Always replace these belts as a set. Remove
key, remove spark plug cable from spark plug and
ground to the engine.
1. Loosen the two fasteners on either side of the belt
cover. The cover will li up and away from the
snow blower during removal.
The fasteners require a 10mm wrench or socket/
ratchet.
2. Remove the impeller belts from the front of the
engine pulley.
- Pull the front belt toward the front of the snow
blower starng at the boom of the engine pulley
on the side without the idle pulley.
- The belt may be snug, and it may be necessary to
rotate the cranksha or use a screwdriver to assist
with rolling the belt out of the pulley groove.
- Pull the back belt to the rst pulley groove, then
o of the front of the engine pulley.
3. Put snow blower into the vercal service posion
standing on the front of the collector housing as
instructed in the service posion page of the
manual.
4. Remove the boom cover (6 bolts) with a 10mm
wrench or socket/ratchet. See diagram in
Inspecon and Replacement of Transmission Drive
Belt.
5. Using a piece of rope or strap, e the impeller /
collector engagement handle into the engaged
posion. This will pull the brake o of the large
impeller pulley allowing the belts to be removed
from this pulley.
6. Remove the belts one by one toward the top of
the snow blower. Tie the transmission
engagement handle in the engaged posion if
necessary for addional clearance while removing
the belts.
7. Reroute the new belt in reverse order from the
removal process, and reverse the order of these
steps to properly reassemble the belt to the
pulleys.
Double check that the belt is fully seated in both
pulleys before replacing covers.
