DRIVE BELT
See General Warning, Section 1, Page 1-1.
The drive belt should be inspected semiannually for wear and glazing. If it is excessively worn, frayed, or
glazed, replace the belt.
As the drive belt wears, the engine RPM will increase to compensate for the change in torque converter ratio.
This will keep the vehicle’s maximum ground speed correct at 17-19 mph (27-31 km/h).
DRIVE BELT REMOVAL
1. Turn the key switch OFF and remove the key. Place the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL posi-
tion. Chock the wheels.
2. Disconnect battery and spark plug wire(s). See Disconnecting The Battery on page 1-3.
3. Grasp the belt midway between the drive and driven clutches. Lift upward on the belt to force the sheaves
of the driven clutch apart, then roll the belt off the driven clutch by rotating the clutch counterclockwise
(Figure 17-2, Page 17-3) . See following CAUTION.

CAUTION
• Make sure fingers are not underneath the belt when rolling the belt off the driven clutch.

2. With the belt started onto the driven clutch, rotate the driven clutch counterclockwise and roll the belt over
the driven clutch sheaves and onto the clutch.
