WARNING

Use extreme caution when rotating the idler pulley with the wrench, due to the increased tension in the spring as the idler pulley is being rotated. Injury may result if the wrench is prematurely released while the spring is under tension.

6.Remove the old belt and replace with a new one.

7.Install the drive belt on the gearbox pulley, the spindle pulleys and idler pulleys.

8.Rotate the spring-loaded idler pulley (A, Figure 47) CLOCKWISE and slide the drive belt over the edge of the stationary idler pulley (C). Make sure the V-side of the belt runs in the pulley grooves (Figure 48). Carefully release the tension on the wrench.

9.Reinstall the mower deck guards and tighten the 5/16” hardware to secure in place.

10.Run the mower under no-load condition for approximately 5 minutes to break in the belt.
