How do I fix Belt drive on simpson Sirocco 350 dryer?
I am having trouble replacing the belt drive to the drum
and fitting the tensioning roller.
Where can I find a drawing of this item showing the threading of the belt or a very good description
All understood Paul except one query:You say take the left and right sides of the belt around the right hand side of the white roller. So is that looking into the back of the machine or the front? That will identify which is right,

Paul, thanks for that advice. I owe you a beer. The only thing I can add is to use some tape to hold belt in place on the drum as you are fitting the belt to the pully.

It took me a couple of beers to finally work out how to get the bl**dy drum belt back on, it was always way to long!
Put the belt around the drum and pinch together with the ribbed faces together, release the spring, take the left and right sides of the belt around the right hand side of the white roller, take the belt back around the grooved engine pulley using the slack with the spring released. Replace the spring and the left hand side of the belt will be on the right hand side of the white roller, the right hand side of the belt will go from the engine pulley straight to the drum. There will be no belt on the left hand side of the white pulley.
Hope this makes sense.
Cheers
