When performing any maintenance, you must first shut off the Engine; wait five (5) minutes to allow parts to cool and disconnect

• Use only DR belts on your machine. They have been thoroughly tested
and proven for many hours of use.

alter the position of the belt guide, return it to the correct setting of 6-
1/4" vertical inches from the fender to the bottom of guide.
