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. Remove the capscrews securing the left and right
belt covers (A, B Figure 27) and remove the covers.
3. Raise the mower deck to transport position. Use the
lever (D, Figure 26) to release tension on the mower
belt and remove the belt from the PTO pulley (C).
4. 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 (D) to release tension on
the idler pulley for installation.
