How on earth can you change the motor belt on an Eumig 610D without taking the whole machine apart?

Thanks

Jon

Jon,

According to the manual:

Hello Doug,

I didn't have the manual.

Thank you for the drawing and instructions. Looking at the drawing and reading the instructions it appears simpler than putting one foot in front of the other when walking. However, in actuality it’s a heck of a chore, it’s almost impossible to get the belt in place as there’s literally no space to feed it at the top.

I changed the belt all right but I still think it may have been easier by taking the machine apart. [Big Grin]

WOW!!!

Thanks again,

Jon

Jon,

Sorry it was so tough, but I'm glad it worked out. I've e-mailed you the manual.

Thanks for the manual Doug, it's one of the few I didn't have.

Regards,

This is the main reasons I HATE 610Ds, that belt is such a PIG to change!
