CARE AND MAINTENANCE
BELT TENSION
ENGINE TO MOWER DECK BELT:
No adjustment required.
P/N 9758
Correct belt tension is maintained through a fixed engine location and a spring loaded
idler system.
A pulsing movement of the belt idler will be observed both during engagement of the
electric blade clutch and actual operation of the mower deck.
NOTE: Engagement of the electric blade clutch switch may produce a sharp high
pitched chirp or squeal as the belt tension loading is absorbed by the idler
system. This is normal and not a sign of failure.
MOWER DECK SERPENTINE BELT: P/N 6939
Refer to illustration for adjustment procedure.
NOTE: Belt deflection or movement should be approximately 1/4" when measured
at mid-point between pulleys.
Periodically inspect both belt and idler systems.
