14. Remove the mower belt from the lower engine
pulley (Fig. 41). If you are careful, you can flex
the belt guide(s) just far enough away from the
pulley to remove the belt. If it is too difficult to
remove the belt, loosen the bolts and nuts
securing the belt guides.
IMPORTANT: Do not bend the belt guide(s)
away from the pulley because the belt will not
operate properly when the mower is installed
later.

Installing the Mower
1. Park the machine on a level surface, disengage
the blade control (PTO), set the parking brake,
and turn the ignition key to “OFF” to stop the
engine.
2. Remove the key from the ignition switch and
pull the wire off the spark plug.
3. Turn the front wheels fully to the left. Slide the
mower under the chassis from the right side.
4. Install mower belt onto the lower engine pulley
(Fig. 41). If you are careful, you can flex the belt
guide(s) just far enough away from the pulley to
install the belt. If it is too difficult to install the
belt, loosen the bolts and nuts securing the belt
guides.
IMPORTANT: Do not bend the belt guide(s)
away from the pulley. There must be a
maximum 1/8” (3.2 mm) between the belt
guide(s) and the edge of the pulley to keep the
belt on the pulley during operation. If the
space is more than 1/8” (3.2 mm), adjust the
belt guide(s) and tighten them securely. The
belt guide(s) must not contact the pulley.
