All drive belts are spring loaded and self-tensioning,

the belts should be checked for proper alignment and wear.
Thereafter, check the belts after every 40 hours of operation
or weekly, whichever occurs first.
WARNING

lost which could result in serious injury or death.
Replace the pump drive belt as needed or every
400 hours / 2 years, whichever occurs first.

6.6 BELT ALIGNMENT

Belt alignment is important for proper performance of
your Scag mower. If you experience frequent belt wear
or breakage, see your authorized Scag Power Equipment

6.7 CUTTER DECK ADJUSTMENTS

Cutter deck level, pitch and height are set at the factory.
However, if these adjustments should ever need to be
made, the following procedures will aid in obtaining the
proper cutter deck adjustment.
Before proceeding with the cutter deck adjustments,
be sure that all tires are properly inflated.
CUTTER DECK LEVEL
The cutter deck should be level from side-to-side for
proper cutting performance. To check for level, be sure
that the mower is on a flat, level surface, the tires are
properly inflated and the cutter deck is set at the most
common cutting height that you will use. On the RH side
of the machine, check the distance from the top of the
cutter deck to the floor. Next check the distance from the
top of the cutter deck to the floor on the LH side of the
machine. Both measurements should be the same. If the
two measurements are different, the cutter deck level must
be adjusted as follows:
1. If the cutter deck is lower on one side, loosen the
elastic stop nuts securing the deck level links on the
front and rear of the lower side. See Figure 6-5.

2. Turn the adjustment bolts on the front and rear deck
level links clockwise until the cutter deck is level
between both sides. See Figure 6-5
3. Tighten the two (2) elastic stop nuts to secure the
cutter deck in the proper position.
