2.Check to make sure the bolt head in the spring loaded idler pulley, on the left side of the engine deck is positioned between the two alignment holes in the left support plate (See Fig 4).

3.If adjustment is necessary, loosen the adjustable idler pulley on the right hand side of the engine deck so it can move up and down in the slot. Place a wrench on the 3/8" nut in the center of the spring loaded idler pulley and rotate the idler upward to relieve the tension on the belt. Reposition the right side pulley in the slot and tighten. Recheck alignment of the bolt on

the spring loaded idler.

3.Start with either the right or left motion control lever. Move the motion control lever to the neutral position then pull the lever back until the clevis pin (on the arm below the pivot shaft) comes into contact with the end of the slot. At this point slight spring pressure should be felt ( See Fig 5a).

4.Check where motion control lever is relative to the neutral slot in the console. The lever should be centered to allow it to pivot outward into the neutral slot.
