CARE AND MAINTENANCE

BELTS:

Check belts every 50 hours. Replace any belts found to be in poor condition.

BELT TENSION:

Transaxle Drive Belt:	P/N 1684
No adjustment required.
Engine to Mower Deck Belt:	P/N 6111

No adjustment required. Correct belt tension is maintained through a fixed engine location and a spring loaded idler system. A pulsing movement of the belt idler will be observed both during engagement of the electric blade clutch and actual operation of the mower deck.

Note: Engagement of the electric blade clutch switch may produce a sharp high pitched chirp or squeal as the belt tension loading is absorbed by the idler system. This is normal and not a sign of failure.

Mower Deck Serpentine Belt:	P/N 6109
Refer to illustration for adjustment procedure.
