* The belt-routing configuration illustrated in Figure 17 DOES NOT apply to tractors equipped with a
54-inch deck. For tractors equipped with a 54-inch deck, refer to Figure 16 on page11.
1. Attach and route the upper drive belt around the spindle pulley and idler pulley found on the undercarriage, the
electric PTO clutch and the PTO idler pulley as illustrated in Figure 17. Make sure that the bett is routed to the
INSIDE of the bett keeper on the undercarriage idler pulley and the remaining keeper pins found around the
spindle pulley.
IMPORTANT: Make certain that the flat side of the belt is facing outward as it sits against both the electric PTO clutch
and spindle pulley. This allows the "V" side of the belt to ride snugly in both pulleys.
