Hydrostatic Pump Belt
WARNING!
NEVER inspect, adjust, or change the hydrostatic pump belt while the engine is
running!
The hydrostatic pump drive belt is located at the front of the engine, between the radiator
and the engine block. The hydraulic belt idler is mounted on the engine framework. The
idler should tension the belt properly so that additional adjustments are not necessary.
Check the belts for visible wear or damage. If
belt appears excessively worn, damaged,
cracked, weathered, or otherwise appears to
pose an unsuitable or unsafe operating condi-
tion, replace the belt.
Check the belt for 35 lbs. tension. If the idler
tensioner rotates to its maximum stroke with-
out adequately tightening the belt, you need to
replace the belt. If the belt you are checking is
new, and the idler tensioner goes to its maxi-
mum stroke without adequately tightening the
belt, it is likely you have installed the wrong
size belt. Contact your Lastec dealer for the
proper belt lengths for your Lastec Mower.
If you are unable to install a new belt with the
idler system at its minimum stroke, it is likely
you are installing the wrong size belt. Contact
your Lastec dealer for proper belt lengths for your Lastec Mower.
Be sure that the idler tensioning spring is properly installed and in good condition. If for
some reason this spring becomes loose, detached, or fatigued, the idler will not properly
tension the belt.
