Storage
2. With a marker, mark the edge where
the motor meets the base (the edge
farthest away from the pump).
3. Remove the belt guard bolt and nut.
4. Remove the front belt guard cover.
5. Loosen the four motor mounting
bolts.
6. The belt tension will pull the motor
toward the pump. Remove the belt
from the unit and set it on the ground.
7. Using the reference mark made in
step 1, move the motor approximately
1/4" past the mark (moving it away
from the pump).
8. Use a straight edge to make sure the
motor pulley is in line with the pump
flywheel. Tighten down the two motor
bolts furthest from the pump.
9. Put the belt on the motor pulley and
carefully roll it over the pump fly-
wheel. Do this by starting the other
end of the belt over the top of the
pump flywheel and turning the fly-
wheel counterclockwise.
