ADJUSTMENTS
CUTTER DECK DRIVE ADJUSTMENTS
1. Engage blade clutch lever and check for proper over
center clearance. There should be about 3/8" between
rod and straight edge (see figure 7). Bend the stop tab
to adjust clearance.
There are two holes drilled in to the cam link that you can
use for the bolt that secures the cam link to the mounting
post welded to the deck. This will allow you to lengthen
or shorten the engagement linkage to compensate for
belt wear.
ADJUST BELT TENSION
WITH TURN BUCKLE
Figure 7
2. Adjust belt tension so that the belt moves 1/2" with 10
lbs. of pressure applied between the center and left
spindle pulleys (see figure 8). Adjustment is made by
loosening the jam nut and tightening/loosening the turn
buckle (see figure 7). Belt driving right spindle should be
checked the same way. Adjust with J-rod on RH belt
tension adjustment idler.
NOTE: Belt tension may need to be increased or
decreased 1 to 2 lbs. to achieve lowest bellt
vibration.
DRIVE CONTROLS
1. Steering control rods should have about 1/4" clearance
between the bottom of the slot and the bottom of the rod
when the steering levers are released (see figure 2).
2. The brake rods should be adjusted so thatthe brakesdo
not apply until the steering levers are pulled tight to the
handles. When the steering levers are locked in the
neutral position the unit may be pushed around.
3. The shift lever is adjustable, and can be moved right to
left allowing proper positioning for neutral (See figu re 4).
TRANSMISSION DRIVE BELT
Adjust the transmission drive belt so that there is about a
3/16" deflection with 10 pounds of pressure. Adjust by
loosening idler pulley mounting bolt and sliding the idler
left or right to change belt tension.
