2-6 Universal PTO Installation
2-7 PTO Handle Assembly Installation
To mount the PTO assembly, insert the pivot rod on the
PTO assembly P#(A0623) into the mounting slots
located on the right PTO mount plate assembly
P#(A1230). Tilt the PTO assembly upward and insert the
PTO mount pin P#(B0274) through the hole in the top of
the right PTO mount plate assembly. Secure the PTO
mount pin using 1/8” x 2-3/8” hair pin clip P#(K0086) as
shown in Figure 2-6.
Mount the PTO handle assembly P#(A0603) to the
universal PTO P#(A0623) using (3) 1/4”-20 x 3/4” HHCS
P#(K1222) and (3) 1/4”-20 nyloc nuts P#(K1128).
Before fastening, make sure that there is room for the
handle to engage and disengage without the handle
hitting the mower’s fuel tank. Attach the handle grip
P#(V1151) to the PTO handle assembly. See Figure 2-7
for reference.
2-8 Belt Installation
Remove the belt guard. Loosen the (4) bolts P#(K1191),
(2) on each side, that secure the gear box assembly to
the PTO assembly P#(A0623) (Figure 2-8a and 2-8b).
Loosen the adjustment bolt P#(K0348) until the gear
box assembly is at its far left adjustment (the gear box is
moved toward the mower’s engine pulley). Connect the
kevlar cord belt A50K P#(M0241) from the engine
pulley to the lower gear box pulley (Figure 2-8c). To
tension the drive belt, turn the adjustment bolt clockwise
until there is 1” of deflection, with 10-11 lbs. of pressure,
at the center of the belt between the engine pulley and
the gear box pulley. Once the correct tension of the belt
is achieved, tighten the (4) bolts that secure the gear
box assembly. Replace the belt guard.
