Reel Drive Belt Adjustment
1. Park mower on a level surface. Make sure engine
is OFF. Remove high tension lead from the spark plug.
2. Check tension by depressing the belt at mid span
between pulleys with 4 to 5 lbs (18 to 22 N) of force. The
belt should deflect 1/4 inch. If deflection is incorrect, pro-
ceed to next step. If deflection is correct, continue op-
eration.
3. To adjust belt tension:
A. Remove cap screws, lock washers, and belt cov-
ers to expose the belt (Fig. 7).
B. Remove cap screws, flat washers, and nuts se-
curing the grass shield to the shield brackets. Move
grass shield to access the cap screw securing the
idler pulley (Fig. 8).
C. Loosen idler pulley cap screw (Fig. 8).
D. Pivot the idler pulley clockwise against the back-
side of the belt until desired belt tension is attained.
Do not over tension belt (Fig. 9).
E. Tighten cap screw to lock adjustment (Fig. 8).
F. Reinstall belt cover by placing the cover in posi-
tion. While maintaining a slight gap between the
cover seal and the side plate, install each cap screw
until the threads engage in the insert. The gap will
allow visual alignment of the cap screw to the
threaded insert. After all cap screws are installed,
tighten them until the stand offs inside the cover
contact the side plate. Do not overtighten (Fig. 9).
G. Reinstall grass shield to shield brackets with cap
screws, flat washers, and lock nuts (Fig. 8).
