BELT INSTALLATION (FIGURE 18)
One of the major causes of belt failure is improper installation. Before a new belt is installed, check pulley shafts and bearings for wear. Check pulley grooves for cleanliness and be sure they turn freely and with only slight wobble. If grooves require cleaning, use a cloth moistened with a
Avoid excessive force during installation. Do not use tools to pry belt into pulley groove. Do not roll belt over pulleys to install. This can cause hidden damage and premature belt failure. Always loosen idler pulleys prior to belt installation.
The belt may be completely installed with the mower mounted on tractor. However, it is easier to install belt on mower deck with mower detached. Remove belt shields.
Step 1. Insert belt in bottom right hand groove of center pulley and route around left pulley.
Step 2. Bring belt back to center pulley and insert in middle groove and thread around right pulley.
Step 3. Route belt to center pulley and insert in top groove and pull to rear.
Belt installation will be completed after mower is attached to tractor, as described on page 27.
