Yazoo/Kees ZMKW52212 manual Cutter Housings, Checking the Parking Brake, Checking the Deck belt

Maintenance

Cutter Housings

Grease housings once weekly or every 40 to 50 hours of use. Use a good synthetic grease. Pump grease in until a small amount purges from the poppet on the underside of the deck. Check the torque of the pulley bolt (45 ft/lbs) should be maintained.

Checking the Parking Brake

Visually check that no damage is found on the lever, links, or switch belonging to the parking brake. Perform a test drive and check that there is sufficient braking action.

To adjust the parking brake, contact the Yazoo/Kees service workshop.

Checking the Deck belt

Check every 100 hours of operation. Check for severe cracking and large nicks.

NOTE: The belt will show some small cracks in normal operation.

To replace belt:

1.Lower the deck to its lowest position. Remove the foot plate and belt shields.

2.Use a ratchet with a 9/16" socket on the spring idler bolt to relieve the tension on the belt.

3.Slide the belt off the pulley and remove the belt.

4.Reverse the procedure for installation. See the decal on the top of deck for belt routing information.

5.After installation is complete check the belt for twists.

Checking the pump belt

Check belt every 100 hours for excessive wear.

To replace belt, relieve tension on the deck belt and remove deck belt from clutch. (See deck belt instructions on previous page.) Loosen bolt on the clutch tie down and rotate out of the way. Using a ½" drive ratchet inserted into the square hole in the pump idler arm relieve the tension on the pump belt and remove belt.

To reinstall belt, swing pump idler pulley out toward engine to route belt around it. Route belt around right the pulley for the left side first (right hand pulley in the illustration).

Reinstall idler spring and use the ratchet to rotate idler so the belt may be installed all the way around the last pulley.
