Mower Belt Replacement - Snapper Simplicity ZT3000 Dealer Setup & Adjustment Instructions Manual

Mower Belt Replacement

To avoid damaging belts, DO NOT
PRY BELTS OVER PULLEYS.
1. Park the rider on a smooth, level surface such as a
concrete floor. Disengage the PTO, engage the
parking brake, turn off the engine, and remove the
ignition key.
2. Raise the mower deck to transport position. Pull the
belt tension lever (A, Figure 27) towards the rear of
the machine to release tension on the mower belt.
Secure the lever in the guard notch (B).
3. Remove the old drive belt and install the new one as
shown in Figure 26. Note that the back of the drive
belt must ride against the back-side idler pulleys (B).
Use the belt tension lever (A, Figure 26) to release
tension on the idler pulley for installation.
