Adjust the tension until it is correct.
Note:
The proper mower belt tension is 44 to
67 N∙m (10 to 15 ft-lb) with the belt deflected
13 mm (1/2 inch) halfway between the pulleys
(
Figure 44 ).
6. If there is no adjustment remaining in the
turnbuckle and the belt is still loose, the rear
idler pulley needs to be positioned to the middle
or front hole (
Figure 45 ). Use the hole that
provides the correct adjustment.

the belt guide. Move the belt guide to the front
position (

the mower belt as necessary. The disengaged
belt should not drag or fall off the pulley when the
