CARE AND MAINTENANCE
HYDROSTAT DRIVE BELT REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE:
(The hydrostatic drive is equipped with a manual belt take-up).
A. Remove the 3/8" locknut, washers, and rubber spacer from the rear of the
assembly.
B. Allow the idler arm/pulley to swing forward towards the fornt of the mower. Remove old
belt if required. Replace with new belt.
C. With the belt in place on all pulleys, reinsert the rubber spacer, washers, and 3/8"
locknut. Tighten 3/8" locknut until rubber spacer is deflected approximately 1/8" to 3/16".
Make sure belt is not too tight. Belt deflection or movement should be approximately
1/4" to1/2" when measured at mid-point between hydro and idler pulley.
HYDROSTATIC TRANSMISSIONS:
Before each use, check to be sure that the cooling fins of the hydrostatic transmissions
are clean. Excessive accumulation of oil, dirt, or trash may cause the transmissions to
overheat. NEVER WASH ACROSS TOP OF RESERVOIR WITH WATER OR STEAM.
Fill reservoir as required per the maintenance schedule listed in this book.
