Inspecting the drive belt
Do not move the belt guard on the engine side other than when
completely necessary.
1.
Depress the operator presence lever to [ON] and adjust the
transmission side belt guard and the belt so that the gap
between them is between 0.118-0.196 in. (3-5mm)
2.
After adjusting, release the operator presence lever [OFF] so that
the belt guard only lightly controls the belt. The belt should now
have risen up above the pulley gutter. Check that the belt does
not
move, even when you turn the pulley by hand.
Confirming the attachment of the belt after replacing
Return the spark plug cord to its original position and run the engine for around 2 minutes with the
blade clutch lever and drive clutch lever both in the [ON] and [OFF] positions to confirm that the belt
in operating normally.
After confirming, set nuts, bolts, and covers securely to their original positions.

rotating within 5 seconds, perform an inspection of the blade
brakes.
