a.Remove the jackshaft drive belt from its idler pulley (by pushing down on idler pul- ley) and let the belt drop down out of the way.

c.Raise the clutch lever (engage position) to lift the clutch idler away from the belt.

d.Next remove the belt from the engine pul- ley and then the PTO drive pulley.

2.Install the PTO drive belt by reversing the re- moval procedure.

IMPORTANT: Make sure the belt is installed inside the four (4) belt guide pins.

Check and make the following adjustments:

a.Clutch engagement for proper belt tension
