Insert the belt down into the front of the transmission
housing. Slip the top half of the belt onto the reverse idler
arm pulley.
Pull the belt downward and loop the bottom half of the
belt around the front groove of the transmission pulley.
Mount the belt guide between the two flat washers and
tighten snugly. The guide needs adjusting before fully
tightening.
You will need an assistant to help with this step. Pull the
reverse idler pulley up to its highest point and position the
belt guide horizontally level as shown in Fig. 7-7. Securely
tighten the screw and lock nut.
Pull back on the Reverse Clutch Control knob and make
sure that the reverse clutch belt fully contacts the groove
in the engine pulley. Release the knob and make sure that
the belt doesn’t engage the reverse engine pulley. This
may cause the tiller to move in reverse when the Wheel
Gear Lever is engaged. Adjust the cable for less tension if
this condition occurs. See the Maintenance & Adjustments
Section for more information.
Reinstall the belt cover and secure it with the two flange
locknuts.
Test the tiller in an open location.

Tines
The tines will wear with use and should be inspected at the
beginning of each tilling season and after every 30 operating
hours. Tines can be replaced individually or as a complete set.
Never inspect or service the tines unless the engine is stopped
and the spark plug wire is disconnected.
With use, the tines will become shorter, narrower and pointed.
Badly worn tines will result in a loss of tilling depth and reduced
effectiveness when chopping up and turning under organic
matter. Use Fig. 7-8 as a guide to when the tines should be
replaced.
