replacing belt

[Bert Erickson]

The belt for the random orbit feature broke. I have a new one but do not know where to put it. I put it on the pad support and on part 37B, but that does not appear to be correct.
Do you have a schematic better that the exploded parts list above?

Hi Bert,

The clutch belt goes between the fixed pulley, #37b on the parts diagram, and the pad support, #103 on the parts diagram. To install, remove the sanding pad. Remove the old belt or any pieces of if that may be caught in the mechanism. Loop the belt around the fixed pulley. Now wrap the other half around the pad support. Reinstall the sanding pad.

You should now be able to start sanding again!

Good luck with your repair!
