Pump Belt Tensioning Assembly
The belt is automatically tensioned by a
spring (37). To cancel the force of the spring
when removing or fitting the belt, use a 1/2"
ratchet wrench in the square hole in the idler
arm (45).
Check that there is no abnormal noise
indicating that the idler pulley is loose on its
shaft. If it is loose, tighten the bolt (42) and
the set screws (41), or change the bushing
(44).
Check that the idler arm is not loose on its
bearing. If it is, tighten the bolt (49) or change
the bushing (47).
Front Wheel Bearings
Dismantling
1. Remove the grease cap (26).
2. Raise and support the front of the mower
on blocks or similar.
3. Remove the cotter pin (30).
4. Remove the castle nut (27) and, pulling
downwards, remove the front fork.
5. Remove the upper bearing (28).
6. Taking great care not to damage the seal
(31), use a hammer and a suitable rod
(or similar) to knock the lower bearing out
in a downwards direction.
Assembling
The assembly procedure is the reverse of the
dismantling procedure.
Lubricate the bearings with ball bearing
grease.
Taking great care not to damage it, tap the
seal into position.
Adjust the castle nut (27) until there is zero
play in the bearings. Loosen the castle nut to
the nearest hole and fit the cotter pin.
