TRACTION DRIVE BELT
1. Set the height of cut to 3".
2. Remove the LH belt cover. Use a 1/2" breaker
bar and extension Figure 1 to back off the deck
tensioning idler and remove the cutter deck belt
from the LH spindle pulley. Leave the cutter deck
belt on the remaining cutter deck pulleys.
3. Raise the rear of the machine on a lift or support
it with jack stands.
4. Remove the cutterdeck drive belt from the clutch
pulley.
5. Use a 3/8" ratchet handle and long extension
Figure 2 to back off the traction drive tensioning
idler and remove the belt from the idler pulley.
6. Finish removing the belt.
7. Install the belt in reverse order of removal.

See Cutterdeck Belt.
NOTE: The belt tension is for a new belt. As the belt
runs in the tension will relax. This is accounted for in
the initial tension. DO NOT re-tension, the belt will
be over tensioned and fail prematurely.
NOTE: Cutterdeck belt spring tension changes as
height of cut changes. Set the spring tension at a 3"
height of cut.
