Before replacing the brake arm, check that the mounting of the belt is on the correct side of the idler pulleys (see Figure 35 on
page 23), and not frayed, worn or stretched. Also, see “adjusting the trimmer head belt tension through the trimmer control
cable” on page 28.
Use only DR belts on your machine. Do not use hardware store variety belts.

1. Remove the Mow-Ball

®
Support Assembly” on
page 19.
2. Remove the Bottom Shield. See
“Bottom Shield” on page 21.
3. Remove the Trimmer Head Belt
from around the Engine Pulley.
There is enough slack in the Belt
to just peel the Belt from around
the Pulley.
4. Grasp the Transmission Housing
and rotate it out to loosen the
Drive Belt (Figure 35). Be careful
not to overextend the spring. You
can now remove the Belt from the
Transmission Pulley and upper Engine Pulley. The Transmission Housing is spring loaded so it will return to its original
position when released.
5. Install a new DR Drive Belt around the upper Engine Pulley, rotate the Transmission Housing out, and slip the Drive Belt
around the Transmission Pulley. Allow the Housing to return to its resting position with the Belt in place.
6. Re-install the Trimmer Head Belt on the Lower Engine Pulley.
7. Re-install the Bottom Shield and the Mow-Ball
®
Support Assembly.
