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 park-
ing brake, turn off the engine, and remove the ignition
key.
2. Raise the mower deck to transport position. Pull the
lever (A, Figure 33) 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 32. Note that the back of the drive
belt must ride against the back-side idler pulleys (B).
Use the belt tension lever (A, Figure 33) to release
tension on the idler pulley for installation.
