Deck Belt Installation
NOTE: For ease in installing the deck belt, refer to
the routing decal on the cutting deck.

the center spindle pulley.

slack, slip the belt onto the center spindle
pulley.

the routing decal and that the belt does not
have twists.
4. Adjust belt tension by turning the eyebolt nut
until there is approximately 1/4" -3/4" (6.35-
19.05 mm) of threads showing outside the
nut.
5. Belt tension must be set to 30-40 lbs.
6. Replace belt shields on the two spindle
housings and secure with fasteners.

pulley.
3. While holding the idler back, wrap the belt
around the right pump pulley.
4. Replace and secure clutch stop. Reinstall the

Tire Pressures

All tires must be at 15 psi / 103 kPa / 1 bar.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION DO NOT add
a tire liner or foam fill material to the tires.
Excessive loads created by foam filled tires will
cause premature failures.
Only use O.E.M. specified tires.

Adjusting the Mower Deck

Leveling Deck
Adjust the deck while the mower is on a level
surface and raised to transport (5" - 12.7 cm)
mode. Make sure the tires are inflated to the
correct pressure. See Tire Pressures in this
section. If tires are under or over inflated, the
deck cannot be properly adjusted. Faulty mower
deck adjustments will cause an uneven mowing
result.
Four bolts control the height and pitch of the
mower deck. Adjust the deck slightly higher in the
rear.
NOTE: To insure precision in the leveling
procedure, mower deck drive belt must be
installed prior to leveling the deck.
1. Wear heavy gloves. Turn the blade tips to
align with the deck side to side.
