Deck belt installation

NOTE: For ease in installing the deck belt, refer to the routing decal on bottom of seat.

•Wrap the deck belt around the electric clutch pulley that is located on the engine shaft.

•Route the belt forward between the EZT (E-Series Zeroturn Transaxles) and up onto the deck.

•Place belt around spring loaded idler pulley, between the pulley and guide. Secure bolt and nut.

•Starting on the right hand side of the deck, wrap the belt around the stationary idler pulley, the right mandrel housing, then around to the left mandrel housing.

•Push inward on the idler arm and carefully route belt over stationary idler pulley. Once belt is properly routed, slowly release idler arm to tension belt.

•Double check belt routing to make sure it matches the routing decal, and the belt does not have any twist. Correct as needed.

•Replace belt shields on both mandrel housings and secure with fasteners.
