Mower Belt Maintenance

Inspecting the Belts

Service Interval: Every 25 hours—Check the belts
Check the belts for cracks, frayed edges, burn marks,
or any other damage. Replace damaged belts.

Replacing the Mower Belt

Squealing when the belt is rotating, blades slipping
when cutting grass, frayed belt edges, burn marks,
and cracks are signs of a worn mower belt. Replace
the mower belt if any of these conditions are evident.
1. Disengage the blade-control switch (PTO), move
the motion-control levers to the N
position, and engage the parking brake.
2. Shut off the engine, remove the key, and wait
for all moving parts to stop before leaving the
operating position.
3. Lower the mower to the 76 mm (3 inches)
height-of-cut position.
4. For each of the belt covers, loosen the 2 bolts,
but do not remove them.
5. Slide the cover until it is clear of the bolts and lift
it up and out to remove it.
