BELT INSTALLATION (FIGURE 18)
One of the major causes of belt failure is improper
installation. Before a new belt is installed, check pulley
shafts and bearings for wear. Check pulley grooves for
cleanliness and be sure they turn freely and with only
slight wobble. If grooves require cleaning, use a cloth
moistened with a non-flammable, non-toxic degreasing
agent or commercial detergent and water.
Avoid excessive force during installation. Do not use
tools to pry belt into pulley groove. Do not roll belt over
pulleys to install. This can cause hidden damage and
premature belt failure. Always loosen idler pulleys prior
to belt installation.
The belt may be completely installed with the mower
mounted on tractor. However, it is easier to install belt
on mower deck with mower detached. Remove belt
shields.
Step 1. Insert belt in bottom right hand groove of center
pulley and route around left pulley.
Step 2. Bring belt back to center pulley and insert in
middle groove and thread around right pulley.
Step 3. Route belt to center pulley and insert in top
groove and pull to rear.
Belt installation will be completed after mower is
attached to tractor, as described on page 27.
