4-3 BELT ADJUSTMENT

Belt  tension  should  be  checked  every  40  hours  to
get  maximum  life  from  drive  belt  and  best  perfor-
mance  from  cutter.  Belt  tension  is  adjusted  by
increasing or decreasing the length of the spring on
the  moveable  idler.  For  proper  belt  tension  on  the
48” mower, the spring length should be set at 7-1/16”.
For  proper  belt  tension  on  the  60”    mowers,  the
spring length should be set at 6-5/8”. For proper belt
tension on the 72” mowers, the spring length should
be  set  at  7-7/8”.  (Figure  4-1C).  To  adjust  the  spring
length,  loosen  or  tighten  the  3/8”  hex  nuts  on  the
spring  adjustment  rod  until  the  correct  spring  length
is reached.

4-4 BELT REPLACEMENT

sheave grooves.

E. Adjust tension on the belt by adjusting the length
