AXLE SPROCKET LOCATION
The axle sprocket is located 4 and ½ inches
from the flush end of the axle to the flat side
of the sprocket. This is a very critical
measurement. Both front and rear sprockets
use the same spacing.
See picture at right.
BELT KEEPER
The belt keeper prevents the belt from
coming off during operation. Proper
adjustment is necessary to prevent wear and
insure correct performance. The correct
position touches the belt on the right side
(from the operator’s position) during blade
disengagement but does not touch during
blade engagement.
CHAIN IDLER REMOVAL
Remove spring and remove the bolt holding
idler with 9/16 wrench. Please note the
location of the two spacers for re-installation
later.
CHAIN IDLER INSTALLATION
When installing the idler arm the sprocket
faces rear and is inside of the chain. The two
spacers must be together on the rear side of
the idler arm. When installing the bolt,
tighten enough to allow movement of arm.
Attach spring to frame.
