Blower Installation

1. Install the blower onto the mower deck. Refer to
Figure 15 for the position of the pins w/ lanyards
in relationship to the chute mount bracket on the
mower deck. The pins w/ lanyards fit into the
same holes that the chute mount rod was installed.
2. Install the blower drive belt. Refer to Figure 16
for the proper belt routing. It may be required to
loosen the idler pulley mounting hardware to get
the belt past the belt keeps.
NOTE: The gray area denotes the flat side of the belt.
V-side of belt must contact v-groove pulleys, flat side
of belt must contact flat pulleys.
3. Check the belt tension by measuring the distance
from the center of the v-idler pulley (A, Figure
17) mounting bolt and the blower housing. This
should measure between 3 - 3-3/8" (7,6 - 8,6 cm).
4. If measurement falls outside of this range, you
must move the idler pulley (B) either forward or
back to achieve the proper belt tension.
NOTE: If pulley position needs to be adjusted, make
sure that it is reinstalled in the same row of holes as
determined in the blower assembly (Step 7, page 9).
