2. Set the cutterdeck in a middle height-of-cut posi-
tion.

moved to remove the belt.
4. Insert 3/8" ratchet extension in hole A on the
idler arm to back tensioning idler off to remove
belt from idler. Remove belt from cutterdeck
pulleys.
5. Remove belt from clutch pulley.
6. Install the new belt by performing these steps in

7. Cutterdeck spring will require tension adjust-
ment after belt installation. Adjust eyebolt so the
distance between the inside of the spring hooks
is 6-3/4 ± 1/8".

NOTE:
After usage of the machine, the belt will seat

This is normal. If you do adjust the eyebolt, you
will over tension the belt, greatly reducing the
belt's life.
