Hydro System Adjustment

The hydrostatic drives are coupled to the output drives
with a multi-v belt. Occasional retensioning of the belt
may be necessary. If performance decreases or hydro
control handles are activated and the wheels do not
turn, inspect the multi-v belt.
1. Remove the hydro access panel.

Engine-to-Hydrostatic Drives Belt Adjustment

1. The engine-to-hydrostatic drives belt is located
underneath the rear deck. The belt should move
approximately 1/8 to 3/16-inch with three (3) to five
(5) pounds of pressure applied to the belt midway
between the hydrostatic drive pulleys when initially
installed. After approximately 1 hour of running time,
verify that the belt tension is still correct and tighten
if necessary
Important: Do not over-tighten the belt.
2. To adjust the belt, turn the nut on the threaded
tension rod found on the right, rear corner of the
mower.
3. Do not over-tighten. This could cause damage to the
hydraulic drive systems.
