to the outside of the cradle plates under the nut and bolt head). On the mower end, use
3/8-16 x 1 1/2” bolt, three 3/8” flat washers, and 3/8-16 nylock nut (the washers go under
the nut, under the bolt head, and between the chain and the mount plate, sandwiching the
chain). Be sure to mount the mower-end chain to the RIGHT side of the mount plate.
The right side is determined from the operator seat.
12. Install the supplied PTO shaft to the traction unit, then to the Articulator. Secure the PTO
guard retaining chains located at each end of the PTO shaft.
3.2 Gearbox
Check the oil level and condition in the gearbox. The gearbox should be approximately
half full (16 ounces). Add oil if low. If the oil appears excessively contaminated, change
the oil. Use Amoco Permagear EP 220 or equivalent gear oil.
Inspect the entire area around and under the gearbox for any oil leakage. If a leak is dis-
covered, repair it and refill the gearbox before operating the Articulator.
3.3 Deck Drive Belts
The deck drive belts are located between the gearbox and the center mower deck, under
the center deck belt cover. To access the belts, remove the wing bolt and lift the cover
from the deck.
The spring-loaded idler system automatically tensions the belts to the proper level.
Check the belts for visible wear or damage. If either belt appears excessively worn, dam-
aged, cracked, weathered, or otherwise appears to pose an unsuitable or unsafe operat-
ing condition, replace the belt.
Check the belts for proper tension. If the idler arm pivots to its maximum stroke without
adequately tightening the belts, you need to replace the belts. If the belts you are check-
ing are new, and the idler tensioner goes to its maximum stroke without adequately tight-
ening the belts, it is likely you are have installed the wrong size belts. Contact your
LasTec dealer for the proper belt lengths for your Articulator.
If you are unable to install new belts with the idler arm at its minimum stroke, it is likely
you are installing the wrong size belts. Contact your LasTec dealer for proper belt
lengths for your Articulator.
NEVER inspect, adjust, or change the deck drive belt while the engine
is running!
ALWAYS clean the entire deck(including under the belt cover) of all
grease, oil, fuel, grass, or debris to prevent fire & projectile hazards!
