Remove the drive belt by feeding it from front to
rear, toward the hydrostatic transmission. See
Figure 28.
Continue removing the drive belt by gently lifting it
off of the transmission pulley and over the cooling
fan.
IMPORTANT:The fins on the cooling fan are only slightly
flexible. Be careful not to damage the fan when
removing the drive belt from around the transmission
pulley.
Reroute the new belt around the pulleys and belt
keepers, if present, EXACTLY as the old one was
routed. Refer to Figure 28.
Hydrostatic Transmission
The hydrostatic transmission is sealed at the factory
and is maintenance free. The fluid level cannot be
checked nor can the oil be changed. Always keep the
area around the transmission cooling fan free of grass
and debris at all times.
