Attaching & Removing the Turbo

ADJUSTMENTS

Pulley Adjustments
If the mower deck belt has stretched over time, the
stacked idler pulley (B, Figure 10) may need to be
moved to the outer hole in the mower deck to take up the
belt slack.
If the mower idler pulley (B) is mounted in the outer hole
in the deck, then the turbo idler pulley (C) should be as
far toward the front as the slot will allow. If the stacked
idler pulley (B) is mounted in the inner hole, then the
turbo idler pulley (C) should remain as installed at factory.
To adjust:
1. Loosen the back-side idler pulley (C, Figure 10) hard-
ware.
2. Move the idler pulley forward in the adjustment slot
and then re-tighten the hardware.
Upstop Adjustment
The upstop (E, Figure 9) prevents the deflector (F) from
contacting the top of the turbo. If the upstop is not pro-
viding sufficient clearance, shim the upstop with washers
until the deflector does not contact the turbo.

STORAGE

Remove any debris from the turbo blower housing. If you
clean the housing, use a mild detergent only (other prod-
ucts may damage tube). If paint has been scratched on
metal parts, touch up with paint, or apply a thin film of oil.
To prevent corrosion, store in a dry area, away from
moisture.
