follows: Remove the wing-nut and washer on the
front stud of the belt cover, pull the cover outward
over this stud then swing the cover rearward and out
of the way over the belt pulley. With the clutch con-
trol released, there is sufficient slack to slip the belt
off the pulley for changing the arrangement as
shown in figure 8.
