The pump belt tensioner is located under the engine and has

SECTION 6: CUTTING DECK
Deck belt removal: (1) Remove ignition key. (2) Slide the
tension adjustment bolt to its most rearward position in
order to provide the lowest belt tension possible. (3) Raise
the deck to its highest position. (4) Remove either the right or left blade pulley cover. (5) While lifting up on the belt
(as shown in the photograph), rotate the pulley until the belt is free of the pulley. Exercise caution while performing
this step as fingers can easily become caught between the
belt and pulley.
For optimal cutting performance, the blade enclosure
should be level from right to left and have a slight forward
tilt downward. To ensure proper deck orientation, perform
the following steps: (1) Move the mower onto a flat surface
such as a concrete pad. (2) Ensure all tires are inflated to
the recommended pressure. (3) Measure the distance from
the ground surface to the bottom of the blade enclosure (as
indicated in the photograph) at each of the four corners.
The rear corners should be equal in ground clearance as
should the forward corners. The forward corners should
be approximately 1/8˝ lower than the rear corners. If
adjustment is necessary, utilize the turnbuckles (pictured)
to raise or lower the forward corners until proper deck
setting is achieved.
