Setup & Adjustments
TRANSMISSION DRIVE BELT
To increase the tension of the transmission belt, loosen the nut on the underside of the transmission idler pulley located under the rear deck, slide the idler assembly inward to increase tension and tighten the nut to secure. See figure 4 & 5.
BELT GUIDES
Belt guides under rear deck are adjusted as shown in figure 4 & 5.
NOTE: The blades should come to a stop from maximum speed within 7 seconds after disengaging.
BLADE ENGAGEMENT LEVER
The blade engagement lever needs to be adjusted so the lever does not come in contact with control panel when the lever is in the off position.
To adjust, remove the clevis pin from the yoke and adjust by turning the yoke. The clevis pin connects the blade engagement lever to the yoke, and the yoke is connected to the blade engagement rod that runs to the bellcrank on the rear deck.
