2-5 Belt Installation and Adjustment
Loosen the (4) bolts P#(K1191), (2) on each side, that
secure the gear box assembly to the PTO assembly
P#(A1803) (Figure 2-5a and 2-5b).
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). Refer to
Figure 2-5c.
Connect the kevlar cord belt A58K P#(M0236) from the
engine pulley to the lower gear box pulley (Figure 2-5d).
To tension the drive belt, turn the adjustment bolt
clockwise (Figure 2-5e) 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. Refer to
Figures 2-5f and 2-5g. Replace the belt guard and
hardware that was removed in Section 2-4.
