BELT SERVICE
Belt Replacement
One of the major causes of belt failure is improper installation. Before installing
a new belt, check the following:
1.
Check pulley shafts and bearings for wear.
2.
Check pulley grooves for cleanliness.
3.
Make sure spindles turn freely and without wobble.
If grooves require cleaning, moisten a cloth with a non-flammable, non-toxic
degreasing agent or commercial detergent and water.
Avoid excessive force during installation. Do not use tools to pry belt into pulley
groove. Do not roll belt over pulleys to install. This can cause hidden damage
and premature belt failure.
Belt Installation
1.
Disconnect idler spring from deck lug I.

Make sure belt is on drive pulley A, route around idler E, and connect
idler spring to lug I on deck.
5.
Loosen bolt holding belt guide G and swing it away from pulley F.
6.
Grasp belt between spindle pulley F, spring loaded idler E and spindle
pulley D. Pull spring loaded idler with belt to obtain enough belt length to
route it over pulley F. Make sure spring-loaded idler pivots freely with belt
installed.
Use care when installing or removing belt from spring-loaded idler
at step 6. Springs store energy when extended and, if released suddenly,
can cause personal injury.
7.
Adjust belt guide G to provide 3 mm to 5 mm clearance from belt. Tighten
bolt to 115 N-m.

nance, follow these steps: disengage power to equipment, lower the 3-
point hitch and all raised components to the ground, operate valve levers
to release any hydraulic pressure, set parking brake, stop engine, remove
key, and unfasten seat belt.
Keep all persons away from operator control area while performing
adjustments, service, or maintenance.
