MAINTENANCE

Adjusting Blade Belt Tension

This procedure should only be performed when a new blade belt is

installed. Prepare the lawn tractor before attempting this adjustment:

l Make sure the mower deck is calibrated for left-to-right leveling

and front-to-rear leveling. Make sure the anti-scalp rollers are not

touching the ground.

l Park the lawn tractor on a flat, level surface; set the parking brake,

and remove the ignition key to prevent accidental starting.

1. Move the PTO lever to ON and the height adjustment lever to 1.
