Checking the V-belts
Deck belt
Check every 100 hours of operation. Check
for severe cracking and large nicks.
NOTE: The belt will show some small cracks
in normal operation.
To replace belt lower the deck to its lowest
position. Remove the plate and belt shields.
Use a ratchet with a 9/16" socket on the
spring idler bolt to relieve the tension on the
belt. Slide the belt off of pulley and remove
the belt.
Reverse the proceedure for installation. See
the decal on the top of deck for belt routing
information.
