NOTE: Prior to servicing or replacing any belts stop the
engine and allow it to cool. Then disconnect spark
plug and ground it to the engine

round part of the Auger Housing that the impeller
spins in. If there is a buckle or a crease in it, the
Auger Housing is bent and must be replaced
before replacing the belt.

using a 3/8” wrench. See Figure 2.1.
