CARE AND MAINTENANCE
BELTS:Check belts every 50 hours. Replace any belts found to
be in poor condition.
BELT TENSION:Transaxle Drive Belt: P/N 1684
No adjustment required.
Engine to Mower Deck Belt: P/N 6111
No adjustment required. Correct belt tension is
maintained through a fixed engine location and a
spring loaded idler system. A pulsing movement of
the belt idler will be observed both during engagement
of the electric blade clutch and actual operation of the
mower deck.
Note: Engagement of the electric blade clutch switch
may produce a sharp high pitched chirp or
squeal as the belt tension loading is absorbed
by the idler system. This is normal and not a
sign of failure.
Mower Deck Serpentine Belt: P/N 6109
Refer to illustration for adjustment procedure.
