concrete floor. Disengage the PTO, engage the
parking brake, turn off the engine, and remove the
ignition key.

the nut to completely release the tension.

Make sure the V-side of the belt runs in the grooves
of the crankshaft pulley and pump pulleys (B & C).

loosely fasten the nut. Adjust the spring until a
measurement of 7-3/4” (19,7cm) is achieved from the
outside of the spring hooks. Tighten nut.
