FIGURE 1
BELT ROUTING
3. Reinstall the belt guide removed in Step 1.
4. Remove Discharge chute by pulling the hairpin and chute pivot pin (from the Drive Kit
installed in section 3.2).
5. Remove the Belt Cover on the right side of the deck. Install the Blower by inserting the
mounting pin into the tube welded to the rear corner of the deck. Pivot the blower until the
front pin engages the slot in the deck. Adjust the position of the front pin if necessary to
engage the slot. Use the latch to lock the blower in this position. Adjust tension on latch
to draw blower up to deck, yet allow release by hand.
6. Pull the idler release handle and install the belt in the upper groove of the deck sheave.
7. Install the Belt Cover using the two knobs. Install the discharge tube assembly by slipping
the upper end into the hood, then sliding the lower end over the blower discharge
opening. Use the latch to retain the lower end to the blower.
8. Follow the operation instructions in Section 5 to run the unit. Run the unit with the blades
and blower engaged for 2 minutes. Disengage the blades, shut off the motor, and
remove the key.
9. Remove the belt cover and check to make sure that the belt is riding near the center of
the flat idler on the idler arm. If the belt is not riding near the center of the idler, remove
the blower, and bend the idler arm slightly. Reinstall the blower and belt cover and
perform steps 8 and 9 again to verify belt position.
