Troubleshooting
%
Reverse this sequence exactly when removing the
jumper cables. Reinstall vent caps and throw
cloths away as the cloth may have corrosive acid
on it.
WARNING
Any procedure other than the above could
result in: (1) personal injury caused by elec¬
trolyte squirting out the battery vents, (2)
personal injury or property damage due to
battery explosion, (3) damage to the charg¬
ing system of the booster vehicle or of the im¬
mobilized vehicle.
Do not attempt to jump start a vehicle hav¬
ing a frozen battery because the battery may
rupture or explode. If a frozen battery is sus¬
pected, examine all fill vents on the battery.
If ice can be seen or if the electrolyte fluid
cannot be seen, do not attempt to start with
jumper cables as long as the battery remains
frozen.
Drive Belt Replacement
The main drive belt may eventually require re¬
placement. If it does, make sure the wear or break¬
age of the old belt is not due to pulley misalign¬
ment or burrs on the pulleys. Then replace the belt
as follows:
1.
Press the clutch-brake pedal down fully and
engage the parking brake.
2.
Loosen the belt stop from the frame idler pulley
(figure 25). Remove the belt from the engine
drive pulley.
3.
Slip the belt off the transmission pulley and re¬
move the belt from the tractor.

.
Replace the new belt on the tractor in the re¬
verse order of the above steps, taking care to re¬
place the idler pulley belt stop. The idler pulley
belt stop should be positioned so that it is fac¬
ing straight downward on the pulley (see
figure 25).
5.
Place tractor on level-surface and rim engine
with clutch engaged and transmission in neu-
tal for 5 minutes. Then check clutch-brake ad¬
justment as outlined in the next section for pro¬
per adjustment.
36 Inch Mower Belt Replacement
To replace the 36 inch mower drive belt, proceed as
follows:
1.
Remove mower from tractor (see removal pro¬
cedure in Mower Installation section of the
manual).
2.
Loosen the belt guide from the idler pulley on
the PTO Idler Arm (see figure 26).
3.
Remove belt from arbor pulleys. Replace with a
new belt of the proper size and type, available
from your dealer.
