Then loop belt through lower hole as shown.
Using the supplied zip-ties, wrap them around the the overlapping pieces of gt2 belt and pull tight.
Once tight, trim the ends of the zip ties.
Install belt on gMax frame through rear pulley and front motor.
Once belt has been run through rear pulley and motor bracket, insert belt into lower slot of the metal plate. Pull excess belt up towards top of bracket.
