To install the belt on the Woods RM550, follow these steps:
1. Remove Belt Shields – Take off the belt shields for access. 2. Position Belt on Drive Pulley – Ensure the belt is on drive pulley “A.” 3. Route the Belt – Guide the belt around idler “F” and connect the idler spring to the lug on the deck. 4. Thread Belt Around Pulleys – Route the belt around pulley “B,” idler “C,” and pulley “D” as shown in the diagram (if available). 5. Use Spring-Loaded Idler – Pull the spring-loaded idler with the belt to get enough slack to route it over pulley “C.” 6. Check Idler Movement – Ensure the spring-loaded idler pivots freely with the belt installed. 7. Adjust Belt Guide – Set belt guide “G” to provide a clearance of 1/16” to 1/8” from the belt. 8. Tighten Bolt – Secure the bolt on the belt guide to 85 lbs.-ft.
Ensure all components are properly aligned and the belt moves freely before operating the mower.
