Hi,
You were given a good link and as luck would have, the hydros in that series were the first picture when I looked. Notice that the steering link is disconnected and the piece that goea from one side of the underside of the frame is disconnected and rotated a bit. Both are necessary. Also, notice the idler up at the top next to the electric clutch; it is not positioned quite correctly. Not as big a deal with the hydros, but crucial with the gear driven brothers. The slot is shaped like a flattened out "J" and the idler should be positioned in the center of the slot with the guide pointed directly outward. As I said, not that important with the hydros since the pedal is not a clutch, only a brake and the hydro will do that itself with the controls. On the gear the belt does not take that twist toward the back and if the idler is out of place, the clutch does not fully work. By the way the right hand side goes to the top after passing between the two idlers, the only push one way againsy the spring, so push to more or less straighten ou the path and put the belt between them so as to tension it when released.
Peace,
Clarke
