    Question:
    Drive belt on self propulsion no longer engaging. Is there a belt tightening procedure?
    Details:

    HU800 AWD self propulsion no longer engaging.  I've printed off pages 14 and 15 of the manual and see no means to adjust the tension on the belt, from what I can tell.  I can see the belt pulling inward when the cable is pulling but obviously no longer tight enough to engage.

    Is this a replace the belt only solution or is there an adjustment for tightening the belt I'm just overlooking?  Many Thanks

      Although the engagement cable is adjustable at handle control box you probably will find a belt replacement is needed. These 3/8 inch belts wear fairly quickly.

      Here is a picture the drive control cable showing the adjustable section.

      Many thanks I was looking on the blade pulley end duhhh. Adjusted the nut and that did the trick beautiful.   I was real careful to observe the springs and bushing when I removed the plate and glad I did as sure as the *** everything sprung out of place...Thanks for the help!
