on the belt, as a slack belt may be prone to twist.
7. Manually rotate the wheel clockwise until the linked belt
ends are approximately 180° from the motor pulley
location.
8. Insert the right angle belt retainer from the replacement
kit at the pulley location. Place it between the segment
retainer latch pivot point and the wheel spoke, see
Figure 102, p. 152 (left of the spoke).
Important: To avoid release of the segment latch do
not insert retainer on the other side of
spoke.
9. Manually rotate the wheel counter-clockwise to position
the belt retainer clip close to the center beam and
diameter seals.
10. In a section between the retainer clip and the motor
pulley, remove the belt from the wheel rim and then
place it over the pulley.
11. Manually rotate the wheel clockwise until the belt is fully
stretched around the wheel rim and motor pulley.
12. Remove the belt retainer clip and manually rotate the
wheel clockwise at least two full rotations while
verifying the belt is not twisted on the wheel rim or as it
enters the pulley(s).

Note: Pile seal brackets are fixed with a single screw to the
cassette frame near the ends of the wheel bearing
beam. Because the height of the belt link is slightly
higher than that of the urethane belt, a rare
interference may occur when it passes the seal
bracket. If this occurs, remove the interfering bracket
(s). No measurable change of performance will
occur.
