Belt Service

On self-propelled mowers, the engine belt (A, Figure 35) transmits power from the engine pulley (B) to the drive disc

(C). The drive disc powers the poly-v belt, which engages the transmission that powers the rear wheels. Should these belts become worn, they could cause slippage, which would impair mower performance. The condition of the engine belt and poly-v belt should be checked after every 25 hours of mower operation.

Engine Drive Belt Replacement (Stretch Type Belts)

1.Empty the fuel tank.

2.Note the belt routing (Figure 35). There is no idler pulley on these models to disconnect.
