7.5.3 HYDROSTATIC TRANSMISSION DRIVE BELT
Loosen the two bolts securing the hydrostat against the vehi-
cle transmission. Rotate the hydrostat towards the engine to
loosen the drive belt. Position a new belt over the engine
pulley and then the hydrostat drive pulley. Rotate the hydro-
stat to tension the belt so that 6 lbs. of force (2.7 kg or 27N)
causes a deflection of .21" (5.3 mm) at a point midway be-
tween pulleys. Torque bolts to 20 lb. ft. (N.m).
On Gas (31 HP only), the lower rad hose is positioned
above the hydrostat belt (Figure 7-21). On 34 DT, 34
Gas and 31 DT, the lower rad hose is positioned be-
tween the belt.

models only).
7.6 SHIFTING SYSTEM
7.6.1 SHIFT CABLE ADJUSTMENT
1. Locate the shift rods at the rear of the transmission on
the passengers side.
2. Shift gear box into neutral, ensuring that the shift rods
are aligned.
3. At the shift box, locate the cables where they are fas-
tened at the entry point of the shift box assembly.
4. Remove the shift gate on the shift box and check to make
sure that the shift blocks are aligned with the shift yoke
assembly when in the neutral position.
5. To adjust the shift cables, the shifting yokes threaded to
the end of the push/pull shift cables must be threaded
further onto the cable or else threaded out further. This is
most easily done by loosening off the nuts from the out-
side of the shift box and adjusting as needed.
You may need to rotate the clutch to allow the shifting
mechanism within the transmission to permit the lever
to move.
6. Install the shift gate temporarily and shift the gear lever
into low gear. The gear lever should not be making any
contact with the gate plate. There should be at least a
3/8” clearance between lever and gate.
7. For more detailed adjustment procedures, refer to the
Centaur Service Manual, available from your Centaur
dealer or else take the vehicle to an authorized Centaur
dealer for adjustment.
If your vehicle is equipped with micro switches for the
neutral safety and back up alarm, you may need to re-
position these in their slotted mounts so they are not
activated when the shifting lever is in neutral position.
7.6.2 THROTTLE CABLE ADJUSTMENT
With the engine stopped, push accelerator to the floor plate
and secure. At the engine check that the throttle arm is fully
open. Adjust throttle arm if necessary.
Operate accelerator a few times then recheck the throttle arm
position. Ensure that all fasteners associated with the throttle
cable are secure.
