I just hooked up my aa 130 but the belt for the auger is rubbing against its self where it is twisted. I can't seem to figure out how to fix this issue.

Flip it the other way or move a pulley. And don't get them too tight, they should roll out of the pulley fairly easy.

You must leave that twisted belt very loose...tight makes it rub.

So loose it looks like it will darn near flip right off the pulleys. :)
