Removing/Replacing the Blade Belt
Tools and Supplies needed:
1/2″ Wrench
1/2″ Drive Ratchet
Gloves
1. Remove the Drive Belt. See “Removing and Replacing the Drive Belt” on the
next page.
2. Loosen, but do not remove, the four Bolts that secure the Belt Cover using a
1/2″ Wrench. Remove the Belt Cover (Figure 34).
3. Insert the 1/2″ Ratchet into the square in the Idler Arm (Figure 35). Turn the
Ratchet clockwise to move the Pulley away from the Belt.
Note: If you use your hand to remove the Belt, wear Gloves. A Rope looped around
the Belt also works well to pull it off the Pulley.
4. As you hold the Idler out of the way with the Ratchet using your right hand,
rotate and lift the Belt up and out of the Pulley groove using your left hand.
5. Push the belt in toward the Power Unit and the belt will fall off the Clutch
Pulley (Figure 36).
6. Pull the Belt toward the Deck to remove the Belt completely.
7. To install a new Belt, insert the Belt over the Tensioner Spring and through
the inside of the Deck Pivot Bracket (Figure 37).
8. Wrap the Belt around the Clutch Pulley under the Power Unit (Figure 36).
9. Start the Belt into the groove of the Blade Pulley and turn the Pulley as you
guide the Belt around and into the Pulley groove (Figure 35).
10. Install The Drive Belt, Spring, Rear Cover, and Multi Tool. See “Removing
and Replacing the Drive Belt”.
11. Install the Belt Cover and tighten the four Bolts (Figure 34).
Your hands could get pinched when removing or installing the Belt onto the
Belt Pulley. Wear Gloves to prevent injury.
