Once the system is filled with oil, lift rear of mower until
rear tires are off the ground. Start engine, release parking
brake, and stay clear of moving rear tires. Next, pull the
neutral bypass levers (located at the rear of the frame, on
either side of the muffler), then move the drive arms
forward and backward 4 to 6 times slowly. This relieves
any air that may be trapped in the system. It may be
necessary to add more oil to the hydro overflow tank after
10-15 minutes of subsequent usage. These bypass levers
also serve as a neutral for moving the mower without the
engine running.
SECTION 2: DRIVE BELT
When adjusting the tracking on the mower, the
length of the pushrods can be changed by
screwing the swivel joint in or out on the ends
of the rods. Shortening the overall length of
the rod slows the pump down. Lengthening
the rod will increase the speed of the pump.
Shown on the right is the tensioner for your
pump belt. Adjusting this will either increase or
decrease tension on the belt. Use a ¾” wrench
to loosen the jam nuts and either tighten for
more belt tension or loosen for less belt tension.
The belt tension should be set between 60-65
lbs.
Use a belt tension gauge to ensure the proper
tension. Your dealer or service center will have
a belt tension gauge or you can buy one (Part
Number 041-9999-00).
