Routine Maintenance
Engine to Cutter Drive Belt Tension
The correct tension of the Cutter Drive Belt is critical.
If incorrectly set it can lead to engine damage and
invalidate the warranty.
To check the tension put the deck in position 5 on
the electric lift display.
1. Select a midway position on the belt, using a
spring balance; apply a 2kg (4-5lbs) pull (Fig.
34).
2. Using a ruler or tape, measure the deflection
achieved which must be 13 mm (1/2"). If more,
the belt tension must be increased, if less –
decreased.
To correct the tension, follow this procedure:
1. Release the tension on the belt by pulling the Belt
tension lever (page 14, Fig 31) forward.
2. Taking Care not to burn yourself on a hot
Exhaust, use a 17 mm long reach socket to
undo the half nut.
3. Once the half nut is loosened off, use a 19 mm
Long reach socket to undo the deck tension
adjuster. Turn anti-clockwise to tension and
clockwise to un-tension.
4. Having made the adjustment, tighten the half nut
and re-tension the belt with the belt tension
lever-then
5. Re-check the belt tension.
Transmission Drive Belt
The transmission drive belt is self-tensioning.
When the hand brake is released and the drive belt
engaged, the belt will retain its tension correctly.
When the drive is dis-engaged using the hand brake
the park brake engages. This setting is adjustable
but should be carried out by your dealer, anyone not
familiar with this setting may cause serious damage
to the transmission.
Transmission Oil Tank
(4WD models only)
(Fig. 37)
This is located in the Tractor rear body and should
be approximately half full when the machine is cold.
This level will rise when the engine is warm as the oil
expands. It should return to the half way point once
the machine has cooled down. The oil should not
need to be topped up in normal use. If a noticeable
drop in the level occurs then your dealer should be
contacted.
