36. To remove the belt, fold the belt on the bottom side
of the lower blender housing and pull it through the
slot in the lower housing at the rear of the coupler
pulley (Fig. 38).
Fig. 38) fold and pull the free end of the belt up through the
slot in the lower housing
37. To replace the belt, start the new belt through the
slot in the lower housing in the same manner in
which you removed it – by folding it first (Fig. 38).
38. Work one end of the belt into the slot from the top of
the lower housing with the ribbed side toward the
center or the lower coupler pulley (Fig. 39). Turn the
lower coupler to help the belt into the slot
Fig. 38) work the belt into the slot with the ribbed side
toward the pulley turning the lower coupler as you go
39. With the belt on the lower coupler pulley, invert the
lower housing and place the belt over the motor
pulley with the ribs on the belt toward the pulley. You
will need to turn the motor pulley to help the belt
onto the pulley. Several attempts may be needed to
work the belt down to the proper ribs (Fig. 39).
Fig. 38) work the belt over the motor pulley with the ribbed
side toward the pulley turning the motor pulley as you go
40. Once the ribbed belt is on the two pulleys, inspect it
for proper alignment to the pulleys. There are six
grooves on each pulley and there are 6 ribs on the
belt. The belt ribs need to be in the corresponding
grooves on the pulleys. A belt/pulley inspection hole
has been added to the lower housing to aid in
making the proper belt/pulley alignment (Fig. 39).
Fig. 38) use the inspection hole to determine if the belt is
installed properly on the coupler pulley
Note: There are 6 ribs on the belt and 6 grooves in each
pulley. The belt ribs need to line up with the grooves in
each of the pulleys.
41. If the belt appears to be above the edge of the pulley
when viewed through the inspection hole (Fig. 38), it
can be moved to the next groove by placing a little
pressure on the belt while turning the pulley. This
will “walk” the belt to the next groove (Fig. 39).
