Should these belts become worn, they could cause slippage. The condition of the engine belt and poly-v belt should be checked after every 25 hours of mower operation.

4.4.2.Transmission Poly-V Belt Tension Adjustment (Wheel Drive Control)

The transmission poly-v belt is tensioned by the spring on the end of the wheel drive control cable. Engaging the wheel drive control extends the spring applying tension to the belt, causing the drive to propel the mower. When engaged the spring should extend between ½” & ¾”. If extension falls out of this range adjustment is required. Refer to Section “WHEEL DRIVE CONTROL ADJUSTMENT” for the procedure.
