Note:
The distance between the belt guide and
the mower belt should be 3/4 inch (19 mm) when
you engage the mower belt (Figure 41). Adjust the
mower belt as necessary. The disengaged belt should
not drag or fall off the pulley when the guides and
belt tension are properly adjusted.

parking brakes.
2. Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop
before leaving the operating position.

of the bellcrank just clears the axle support gusset
(Figure 42).
