Could someone kindly point out the proper orientation of the belts for this puppy. Opened it up and it was goo central.

Also there is a retaining plate on the bottom which seems to be held on with a single screw, is this the case, just remove the very small screw on the right hand side ?

There seems to be space for 3 belts in there but the documentation about belts indicates 2 main belts and a third for the counter.

Could anyone with one of these shed any light at all please ?

No idea what size of belt to order because not sure of the orientation of the belt.
From what I understand from the PRB line reference there are only 2 belts ont he drive.
I'm also struggling to remove the retaining plate from the bottom, anyone ever replaced belts on this thing ? I know it's not hard but I don't wanna fudge it.

Hey, that's strange I only used 2 belts and it works fine.
The PRB line catalogue refers to 2 belts and 1 for the counter so I placed 2 belts in and it works, oh well.
Cheers for the input.
