8.Follow the operation instructions in Section 5 to run the unit. Run the unit with the blades and blower engaged for 2 minutes. Disengage the blades, shut off the motor, and remove the key.

9.Remove the belt cover and check to make sure that the belt is riding near the center of the flat idler on the idler arm. If the belt is not riding near the center of the idler, remove the blower, and bend the idler arm slightly. Reinstall the blower and belt cover and perform steps 8 and 9 again to verify belt position.

DANGER
