Table of Contents

NOTE: Due to manufacturing tolerances and tire size differences, it may be necessary to readjust some spacers. Because of this, you may not end up with equal number of spacers on all gauge wheels.

2.Lower the mower to the field position making sure all fold cylinders are fully extended.

3.To adjust the front of the center deck to match the rear, see Figure 3-2. Place the front screw jack on the jack mount welded to the center gearbox channel. Screw the jack out to lift the front of the mower deck. Position the same amount of spacers below the metal spindle tube as is required for the rear gauge wheels. There is a groove in the carrier rod for adding or removing spacers. Turn the spacers so that the open end will slide in the groove. Remove screw jack and return to storage tube above divider gearbox. Place additional spacers above metal spindle tubes.

Belt Tension

Refer to Refer to Figure 3-3:

!CAUTION!

Belt drive system under spring tension; use care to avoid bodily harm!

1.To check tension apply force at arrow “Awith a tension tester and deflect the belt 1/4". The force required to get this deflection should range from 7 to 10 lbs.

2.To adjust belt tension, adjust eyebolt (#1), as necessary. This adjustment will increase or decrease the tension on spring (#2).

3.Excessive tension on the belt may lead to premature failure of belt and drive components. Excessive tension on the belt may also lead to a safety hazard to the operator or bystanders. Not enough tension on the belt may lead to premature failure of the belt due to excessive slipping.
