1. Disconnect the brake linkage from the brake band
arm.
2. With the mower in gear, place the traction levers in the
drive position. Firmly pull back on the handles until the
tires slide to seat the wheel drive belts into the pulleys.
3. Measure the clearance between the bottom of the
traction lever rod and the bottom of the thumb latch slot.
It should be between 3/16" to 1/4", but not exceeding 1/
4". See Figure # 3
4. If the clearance is less than 3/16", disconnect the
traction rod from the traction lever by removing the
hairpin cotter.
5. Adjust the traction rod to the proper clearance by
screwing it out of the swivel if clearance is less than 3/
16".
NOTE: NOTE:
NOTE: NOTE: NOTE:
More or less brake pressure may be desired depending
on the operator or conditions of operation. To increase
pressure tighten the wing nut on the brake linkage.
1. Remove front deck belt shield.
2. Loosen whiz nut on turnbuckle.
3. Set belt tension when engagement lever is in the
engaged position.
4. To increase belt tension rotate turnbuckle toward the
rear of the mower until desired tension is gained. Do not
over tighten belts, to much tension will reduce belt and
spindle bearing life. See figure # 6

belt span between pulleys when blades are engaged.
Blade drive belt tension is pre-set at the factory.
