Belt Tension - Dixon ZTR 6601 Operator's Manual

BELT TENSION

ENGINE TO MOWER DECK BELT:
No adjustment required.
Correct belt tension is maintained through a fixed engine location and a spring loaded idler
system.
A pulsing movement of the belt idler will be observed both during engagement of the electric
blade clutch and actual operation of the mower deck.
NOTE:
MOWER DECK SERPENTINE BELT:
Refer to illustration for adjustment procedure.
NOTE:
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Engagement of the electric blade clutch switch may produce a sharp high
pitched chirp or squeal as the belt tension loading is absorbed by the idler
system. This is normal and not a sign of failure.
Belt deflection or movement should be approximately 1/4" when measured at mid-
point between pulleys.
Periodically inspect both belt and idler systems.
