Belt Installation
One of the major causes of belt failure is improper installation. Before a new belt is installed, check pulley shafts and bearings for wear. Check pulley grooves for
cleanliness. Make sure spindles turn freely and without wobble.
If grooves require cleaning, moisten a cloth with a non- flammable,
Avoid excessive force during installation. Do not use tools to pry belt into pulley groove. Do not roll belt over pulleys to install. This can cause hidden damage and premature belt failure.
The belt may be completely installed with mower mounted on tractor. However, it is easier to install belt on mower deck with mower detached.
Remove all belt shields.
Be sure belt clears guise 1/8". Reform guide if neces- sary. See Figure 12.
Step 1: Insert belt in bottom right hand groove of center pulley and route around left pulley.
Step 2: Bring belt back to center pulley and insert in middle groove and thread around right pulley.
Step 3: Route belt to center pulley, insert in top groove and pull to rear.
Belt installation will be completed after mower is attached to tractor. See page 24.
