CARE AND MAINTENANCE

BELT TENSION

TRANSAXLE DRIVE BELT:

P/N 7650

No adjustment required.

 

ENGINE TO MOWER DECK BELT:

P/N 7725

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.
