6.4 BELT ADJUSTMENT

WARNING

Before removing any guards, shut the engine off and remove the ignition key.

Before proceeding with this adjustment, be sure that the caster wheels turn plus pivot freely and that the tire pressure in the drive wheels is correct. If the tire pressure is not correct, the machine will pull to the side with the lower pressure.

1.If at full speed the mower pulls right, it is an indication that the left wheel is turning faster than the right wheel. To adjust this condition, proceed as follows:

A.Stop the machine and place the steering control levers in the neutral position. Turn the tracking adjustment bolt for the LH pump inward (clockwise). This will cause the control rod to stroke the LH pump less, slowing down the LH wheel. See Figure 6-3.

2.If at full speed the mower pulls left, it is an indication that the right wheel is turning faster than the left wheel. To adjust this condition, proceed as follows:

A.Stop the machine and place the steering control levers in the neutral position. Turn the tracking adjustment bolt for the RH pump inward (clockwise). This will cause the control rod to stroke the RH pump less, slowing down the RH wheel. See Figure 6-3.

All drive belts are spring loaded and self-tensioning, however after the first 2, 4, 8 and 10 hours of operation, the belts should be checked for proper alignment and wear. Thereafter, check the belts after every 40 hours of operation or weekly, whichever occurs first.

6.5 BELT ALIGNMENT

Belt alignment is important for proper performance of your Scag mower. If you experience frequent belt wear or breakage, see your authorized Scag service center for belt adjustment.
