Checking the Parking Brake, Deck belt | Husqvarna WG4815E, WG3613E

MAINTENANCE

Checking the Parking Brake

Visually check that no damage is found on the neutral bail. Perform a test drive and check that there is sufficent braking action.

To adjust the handbrake, contact the service workshop if you are uncertain. Set the neutral bail in the neutral lock position. Tighten the wing nut. Check if the machine is braked, if not tighten the wing nut again.

Checking the V-belts

Deck belt

Check every 100 hours of operation. Check for severe cracking and large nicks.

NOTE: The belt will show some small cracks in normal operation.

To replace belt lower the deck to its lowest position. Remove the plate and belt shields.

Use a ratchet with a 9/16” socket on the spring idler bolt to relieve the tension on the belt. Slide the belt off of pulley and fully remove the belt.

Reverse the proceedure for installation. See the decal on the top of deck for belt routing information.

After installation is complete check the belt for twists.
