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.
To check the level of the deck, start on a flat surface and
set the air pressure in all four tires. Raise the deck up, and
measure all four corners of the deck to see if it is level from
left to right and front to back. All decks should be level from
left to right and have a 1/8˝ pitch down in the front.
If deck adjustments are necessary, start with the chain
length adjusters. These adjusters affect the overall height of
the deck and the level from left to right.
