Cutter - Drive Belt - C Series Garden Tractor

Before carrying out tests or adjustments (the problem maybe simpler) – first check the following points:

1.Is the Engine to Cutter Drive Belt slipping? Check that the Drive Belt Tension Lever (fig 13) under the left running board is in the tensioned position. If not, rectify – this is the most likely cause of Cutter failure.

2.Has debris collected in the Cutter Deck Pulley Housing? If so, remove the cover and remove the obstruction.

ENGINE TO CUTTER DRIVE BELT TENSION

The correct tension of the Cutter Drive Belt (Engine to Deck) is critical. If incorrectly set it can lead to engine damage.

To check the tension, follow procedure:

1.Put the deck in a middle cutting height position (5 on the HE illuminated indicator).

2.Select a midway position on the Belt between the front (Electric Clutch) pulley and rear (Cutter Deck) pulley and using a spring balance; apply a 2Kg (4-5lbs) pull (fig 26).

3.Using a ruler or tape, measure the deflection achieved which must be 13mm (1/2"). If more, the belt tension must be increased, if less – decreased.

To correct the tension, follow this procedure:

1.Release the tension on the belt by pulling the Belt Tension Lever (page 7, fig 13) forward.

2.Taking care not to burn yourself on a hot exhaust, locate the Trunnion at the end of the Belt Tension Rod, look to the front (nearside) close to the exhaust (see fig 24).

3.Remove the Spring Clip and washer holding the Trunnion in place on the Deck Tension Cradle (fig 25) and release the Trunnion so it can be turned.

4.Both the Trunnion and the Belt Tension Rod are threaded. You increase belt tension by winding the Trunnion towards the end of the Rod and reduce tension by winding in the reverse direction.

5.Having made the adjustment, re-locate and secure the Trunnion, re-tension the Belt with the Belt Tension Lever

– then re-check the Belt tension.
