The deck spring tension is critical. If the tension is too
high, premature failure of the deck belt and blade
spindles can occur. If the tension is too low, the belt can
‘jump off’ or slip on the pulleys. This results in reduced cut
quality and early belt failure. Spring tension adjustments
can be made by sliding the bolt shown above forward or
backward in the slot of the deck Belt tension should be set
between 60-65 lbs. with the deck at its lowest setting.
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).
Blade Sharpening:
The blade

(see photo) was utilized long
after replacement was required. In addition to a
decline in cut quality, failure to replace a worn
or damaged blade creates a major safety
hazard. Bad Boy recommends that blade
sharpening be preformed by a professional.
