• After first making sure the deck belt is properly
engaged in all of the deck pulleys, route the deck belt
forward through the center of the front deck hanger
rod and toward the PTO pulley on the bottom of the
engine.
• Using the deck lift handle, raise the deck to the
position that gives you the most horizontal run of the
belt between the deck pulleys and the PTO pulley on
the bottom of the engine.
• Sitting in front of the tractor, facing rearward, make
certain the belt is not twisted; then reach beneath the
tractor to grasp the belt and pull it toward the PTO
pulley.
