ASSEMBLY
INSTALLATION OF OTHER BRANDS OF
ENGINES:
Place the engine on a table. Measure the height (item
B) from the middle of the crank shaft to the table. Use
one of the two shims (3/4" or 1") if required, to attain
the height of 5.25". If more or less height is needed,
use a couple of flat washers.
Install the engine and shims on the stand. Choose the
set of holes that correspond with the holes at the
base of the engine.
The center of the crank shaft must be 5.75" from the
back of the snowblower.
Make sure that the base of the motor is parallel with
the snowblower frame.
Install engine
After positioning the engine, the axes must be parallel
as shown in figures 1 and 2.
(Use some shims if necessary).
NOTE: It is very important that the pulleys are
aligned (as shown in the two views: back view of
the snowblower (fig. 1) and the top view of the
snowblower (fig. 2).
No adjustments can be made on the bottom
pulley (fig. 1, item 3).
Install the 2 1/2" pulley (item 2) on the motor shaft as
shown (hub towards the engine) with a 1/4" x 1/4" x 1
3/4" key so that the belts are parallel with the ruler.
Hold a ruler (fig.1, item A) on the double pulley (item
3).
Tighten the set screw firmly.
