CARE AND MAINTENANCE
BELT TENSION
ENGINE TO MOWER DECK BELT: | P/N 9758 |
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 6939 |
Refer to illustration for adjustment procedure.
NOTE: Belt deflection or movement should be approximately 1/4" when measured at
Periodically inspect both belt and idler systems.
