All belts on your tractor are subject to wear and should be replaced if any signs of cracking, shredding or rotting are present.

IMPORTANT: The V-belts found on your tractor are specially designed to engage and disengage safely. A substitute (non-OEM) V-belt can be dangerous by not disengaging completely. For a proper working machine, use factory approved belts.

To change or replace the drive belt(s) on your tractor, proceed as follows:

NOTE: It’s recommended that both drive belts be replaced at the same time.

•Remove the cutting deck as instructed earlier in this section.

•After disconnecting the battery cables, remove the battery and battery tray from beneath the seat.

IMPORTANT: When removing the battery, disconnect the NEGATIVE (Black) wire from it’s terminal first, followed by the POSITIVE (Red) wire.

NOTE: Refer to Figure 2 in the TRACTOR SET-UPsection of this manual for instructions regarding battery hook-up.
