There are two belt stops at the PTO pulley;
one on the left (figure 33) and one on the
right (figure 35A or 35B). With the PTO
lever engaged, measure the distance between
the belt stop and belt. There should be 1/16
inch (1.5 mm) clearance between each belt
stop and the belt. To adjust a belt stop,
loosen its mounting capscrew, move the belt
stop, and retighten the capscrew. Recheck
the measurement.
