Replace the Tine Drive V-Belt if damaged from slipping under heavy loads or if it
shows cracks or frayed edges.
Tools and Supplies Needed:
• 3/8" Socket
1. Remove the two Bolts from the top and rear of the Belt Guard using a 3/8"
Socket and remove the Belt Guard (Figure 20).
2. Pull the Tine Clutch Lever Forwards to disengage.
3. Remove the worn Belt from the Engine Pulley and Transmission Pulley
(Figure 21).
4. Reinstall a new Belt around the Engine Pulley and Transmission Pulley and

When performing any maintenance, you must first shut off the Engine; wait five (5) minutes to allow parts to cool and disconnect

• Use only DR belts on your machine. They have been thoroughly tested
and proven for many hours of use.

alter the position of the belt guide, return it to the correct setting of 6-
1/4" vertical inches from the fender to the bottom of guide.
