Hmmmm Belt rubbing on the lower hose. Maybe the Atkins diet can help!

Sorry couldn't resist.


Try loosening one end of the hose or both and giving it a twist to pull it away from the belt path. Then tighten it back up.

I haven't heard of this one tho. Seems the hose somehow moved. Shouldn't be hitting it at all.

My sticker on the header panel for the belt routing is illegible so I really have to pay attention when I take the belt off.
