4.4. BELT SERVICE
On self-propelled mowers, the engine belt transmits
power from engine to drive disc. The drive disc powers
the poly-v belt which engages the transmission that
powers the rear wheels. Should these belts become
worn, they could cause slippage which would impair
mower performance. The condition of the engine belt
and poly-v belt should be checked after every 25 hours
of mower operation.

1. Empty the fuel tank.
2. Unhook the idler spring from the right rear wheel
bracket. See Figures 4.16.
