6.3.7 MOWING DECK - CHECKING THE DRIVE PULLEY OF THE DECK
6.3.7
The mowing deck drive belt pulley and belt are protected under a plastic cover. For the
purpose of cleaning, inspection and adjustment, this cover can be removed by unscrewing
the two screws on its sides.
Before every use of the mower, check the
fastening bolt of the pulley. The bolt should
be pulled tight with a torque of 80 Nm.
The belt pulley is accessible after lowering
the mowing deck to the lowest position.
6.3.8 CHECKING AND ADJUSTING THE DRIVE BELT
When working on various parts of the mower‘s drive always turn off the engine and take the
key out of the ignition.
Regularly check the wear and tension of V-belts and
the tensioning mechanism.
The drive V-belts (travel and mowing) are automatically
tensioned by a spring and a pulley. Before starting
work or at least after every 50 hours of operation
check the wear on the V-belts and the working order
of the tensioning mechanism.
Adjust the position of the drive belt tensioning pulley
using adjusting nuts.
Distance A = 46 mm.
Distance B = 78 mm (set the mowing deck elevation
adjustment lever to the second last position)
When attaching a new belt pay special attention when working with the mower because the
belt is not yet sufficiently run-in.
6.3.9 REPLACING BELTS
Replacing the drive belts is a relatively demanding operation, which needs to performed by an authorised
service centre.
6.3.10 ADJUSTING THE CRUISE CONTROL LEVER
If cruise control is activated and the drive lever is independently returning to position "N", then it is
necessary to adjust the cruise control lever. Have this task performed at a specialised service centre.
6.3.11 REPLACING WHEELS
Before replacing one of the wheels, park the mower on a horizontal and rigid surface, turn off the engine
and remove the key from the ignition. Secure the mower against movement. Do not replace the wheel if
the mower is not sufficiently secured in the elevated position!
