TRANSMISSION DRIVE BELT ADJUSTMENT
Figure
12
NOTE
Check the transmission drive belt for proper adjustment
monthly
or every 100 hours of operation. The belt is under proper
tension if normal finger
pressure
(about ten pounds) deflects the
belt
approximately 1/4" midway between the pulleys. (See Figure
12a.) The tension can be checked by depressing the lower belt
section
without
removing the guard. If readjustment or replacement
is
necessary,
proceed as
follows:
1.
Loosen the two nuts "B" and one nut "D" on the brake band and
loosen
lock
lever "A".
2.
Loosen the four bolts "E" and one
bolt
"F".
3. To tighten the drive belt,
turn
the two bolts "G" clockwise. One
bolt
"G" is located on
each
side of the tractor. To loosen the
drive
belt,
turn
these
bolts counterclockwise. It is important
that
these
two (2) bolts be adjusted equally.
If
replacing the drive belt, loosen two bolts "G"
sufficiently
to in-
stall
the new belt
without
stretching or "roping" it over the pulleys.
