IMPORTANT:
To ensure a longer life span of the belts: Notice
when you engage the snowblower by pulling the
clutch arm, the last few inches of the pull, you
must feel a stronger resistance, due to the
tension on the belt. If you do not feel this tension,
re-adjust the cable. Follow the instructions below.
