To replace belt. Relieve tension on the deck belt
and remove deck belt from clutch. See deck belt

1/2” drive ratchet inserted into the square hole in

belt and remove belt. To reinstall belt. Swing pump
idler pulley out toward engine to route belt around
it. Then route belt around right side pulley first as

Caster Wheels
Check every 200 hours. Lift front of unit off of

rotates freely. If wheel does not rotate freely back
the caster bolt off in 1/4 turn increments until wheel

fill material to the tires. Excessive loads created
by foam filled tires will cause premature failures.
Only use O.E.M. specified tires.
Foam filled tires or solid tires will void the war-
ranty.

dirty conditions replacement may need to be at
shorter intervals.
