BELT SERVICE

Belt Replacement

One of the major causes of belt failure is improper installation. Before installing a new belt, check the fol- lowing:

1.Check pulley shafts and bearings for wear.

2.Check pulley grooves for cleanliness.

3.Make sure spindles turn freely and without wobble.

If grooves require cleaning, moisten a cloth with a non- flammable, non-toxic degreasing agent or commercial detergent and water.

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.

Belt Installation

1.Disconnect idler spring from deck lug I.

2.Slide belt under drive pulley A and over idler arm. Position belt around drive pulley A.

3.Route belt around pulley B, idler C and pulley D as shown.

4.Make sure belt is on drive pulley A, route around idler E, and connect idler spring to lug I on deck.

5.Loosen bolt holding belt guide G and swing it away from pulley F.

6.Grasp belt between spindle pulley F, spring loaded idler E and spindle pulley D. Pull spring loaded idler with belt to obtain enough belt length to route it over pulley F. Make sure spring-loaded idler pivots freely with belt installed.

NOTICE

Use care when installing or removing belt from spring-loaded idler at step 6. Springs store energy when extended and, if released suddenly, can cause personal injury.

7.Adjust belt guide G to provide 1/8" to 3/16" clearance from belt. Tighten bolt to 85 lbs-ft.
