For correct belt tension the platform must be in a
down position. Adjust the V -idler downward
until belt is stretched tight.

11. To mount the belt guides, remove the
left and right rear cap screws and lock
washers from the platform spindle housing.
Install the belt between the guide fork. Re-
tighten the cap screws securely. See Illust. llA.
10. The flat idler swivel bracket must be
set so that the belt will travel in the center
of the idler. This is extremely important to
ensure belt life. The flat idler "A" (1IIust. lOA)
should be positioned in a direct line with the
rear drive sheave and in line with the right
hand side of the platform spindle sheave.
Adjust the V -idler pulley "B" downward until
the belt is snug. This must be accomplished
with the platform in down position. Start the
tractor and idle slowly with the power take-
off engaged. If the belt rides to one side of
the flat idler, stop the tractor, loosen the
flat idler swivel bracket mounting screws
and readjust the bracket. Retighten the belts
and start the tractor again. Repeat this pro-
cedure until the belt is riding in the center
of the idler. The flat idler swivel bracket
need only be adjusted at the initial mounting
of the mower.
12. Secure the rear belt guard by position-
ing it around the rear drive sheave and idlers.
The top of the guard is attached by bolting
the angle clip to the tractor taillight bracket,
then securing the guard to this clip with a
1/4 x 3/4 inch hex. head cap screw, lock
washer, and nut. The lower arm on the guard
is attached to the idler mounting bracket with
a 1/4 x 1 inch hex. head cap screw, flat
washer, and nut. See Illust. 11B.
Check "Lubrication" instructions before
operating.
