Mule Drive Belt Tension Adjustment

Self-tensioning idler, adjust as follows:

1.Stop engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and remove key. Engage parking brake.

2.Check to make sure the center of the bolt head in the center of the spring loaded pulley, on left side engine deck support, is positioned between the centers of the two alignment holes in the left support plate (Figure 19 and Figure 20). It is necessary to adjust the belt tension when the center of the bolt head is at or below the center of the bottom alignment hole.

3.When adjustment is necessary, loosen the idler pulley on the right-hand side so it can move up and down in the slot.

Place a wrench on the 3/8 inch nut in the center of the spring loaded pulley and apply upward pressure to relieve tension on the spring (a 1/2 inch drive breaker bar and 9/16 inch socket works best).

Reposition the adjusting pulley to the bottom of the slot.

Note: When installing a new belt, it is necessary to reposition the right adjusting pulley upward in the slot in order to position the center of the spring loaded pulley between the alignment holes.
