CARE AND MAINTENANCE

HYDROSTAT DRIVE BELT TENSION ADJUSTMENT:

In normal use the hydrostat drive belt tension should be checked after the first 20 hours of use for normal wear and stretch. It may be adjusted as follows:

1.Loosen the idler pulley locking nut until the idler pulley can be just moved relative to the mounting bracket.

2.Tighten the tension adjust bolt until the belt is tight enough to prevent belt slippage. Belt should deflect

approximately 3/8” to 5/8” under moderate pressure. Do not over tighten.

Note: If belt is over-tightened it will often make a “chattering” noise.

3.Retighten the slide locking nut.
