Mower Belt Maintenance
Inspecting the Belts
Service Interval: Every 25 hours/Monthly
(whichever comes first)
Check the belts for cracks, frayed edges, burn marks,
or any other damage. Replace damaged belts.
Replacing the Mower Belt
Squealing when the belt is rotating, blades slipping
when cutting grass, frayed belt edges, burn marks,
and cracks are signs of a worn mower belt. Replace
the mower belt if any of these conditions are evident.
1. Park the machine on a level surface and disengage
the blade control switch.
2. Ensure the parking brake is engaged, stop the
engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving
parts to stop before leaving the operating position.
3. Set the height-of-cut at the lowest cutting position
[1-1/2 inch (38 mm)].
