Deck Drive Belt Adjustment
Refer to Figure 3-13:
The spindle belt tension remains constant by means of a
tension idler and spring. The spring tension should be
such that the belt does not slip under normal operating
load conditions, assuming the belt is not excessively worn
or damaged. As belt stretches and wears in, adjustment
may become necessary. To increase belt tension, move
the spring chain one (or more) link(s) at the anchor
bracket.Installed spring length should be 9.0" +/- .3"
(22.8 cm +/- .76 cm) originally with adjustments of .60"
(15.2 mm) per chain link.
