Replacing the Traction Drive Belt
Tools and Supplies Needed:

• 9/16" Wrench
• Locking Pliers

under the Deck.

(Figure 36).
3. Remove the Spring end from the Transaxle using Locking Pliers.

and Engine Pulley.

Adjusting the Blade Engage Cable
The Blade Engage Belt will stretch slightly when new, then more over time. If
the Belt appears to be slipping when mowing, adjust the Blade Engage Cable to
tighten it. The Adjuster is located on the Cable itself. If adjusting the Cable
doesn’t stop the Belt from slipping, replace the Blade Engage Belt.
Tools and Supplies Needed:
• 1/2" Wrench
1. Remove the Belt Cover as described in “Idler Arm Lubrication” steps 1 thru 3
on page 18.
2. Reset the Cable In-Line Adjuster: Rotate the center section of the In-Line
Adjuster to bring the threaded ends of the Adjuster against the center
section (Figure 37). When fully adjusted, no threads will be visible, indicating
that the Cable is at its loosest adjustment.
Note: The Cable will be as loose as possible at the Handlebar and the Brake Pad
will have full contact with the Pulley when no threads are showing on the Adjuster.
