Engine PTO Drive Belt (3 Groove Power Band)
1.To remove the engine PTO drive belt:
a.Remove the jackshaft drive belt from its idler pulley (by pushing down on cold start lever) and let the belt drop down out of the way.
NOTE: Step (a) is not essential to removing the PTO belt, but it makes more room to work with the PTO belt.
b.Loosen the brake band adjustment nut to allow the clutch idler pulley to drop down against the frame. This provides maxi- mum looseness of the belt to assist removal.
c.Remove the PTO drive belt by “walking” the belt off of the engine and PTO pulleys one groove at a time until the belt is com- pletely removed.
2.Install the PTO drive belt by reversing the re- moval procedure. Check and make the following adjustments:
a.Adjust clutch disengagement (brake band adjustment) and check brake action.
b.Adjust clutch engagement for proper belt tension.
