Hi

Yes I have a copy of the "Operators Manual Setting Up Instructions QA-36A and QA-42A Snow Throwers" but it doesn't provide a lot of information on how to put the belt on. The directions make it sound like the belt just slips on and you have to tension it to keep it on. When I try to put on the belt I can't get it on the bottom pulley. I am able to just get it into the grove on one side of the pulley but can't get it to go all the way on. On page 6 of the manual it says "Do not tighten set screws on drive sheave until final belt alignment is made." Do I need to loosen these 4 bolts? However I do not see that providing any vertical slack to help put the belt on. Also when I turn the tension screw handle on the front right of the mounting it doesn't seem to do anything.

Thanks

Cleon
