4. Install mower belt onto the lower engine pulley
(Fig. 40). If you are careful, you can flex the belt
guide(s) just far enough away from the pulley to
install the belt. If it is too difficult to install the
belt, loosen the bolts and nuts securing the belt
guides.
IMPORTANT: Do not bend the belt guides
away from the pulley. There must be a
maximum 1/8" (3.175 mm) between the belt
guide and the edge of the pulley to keep the
belt on the pulley during operation. If the
space is more than 1/8" (3.175 mm), adjust
the belt guide(s) and tighten them securely.
The belt guide must not contact the pulley.
5. Install the mower pivot mount brackets to the
front axle with bolts and lock nuts (Fig. 41).
