Replacing V-Belts
Both V-belts should be replaced at the
same time because they will wear evenly
through normal use. Work on one belt at a
time.
1. Loose 4 engine mount bolts (do not
remove) only enough to move the engine
forward.
2. Loosen the jam nuts B and bolts A
shown in the figure.
Slide the engine toward the front of plate
and slip the old V-belts off of the wheel
pulley and install the new V-belts in their
place.
4. Position the V-belts over the engine pulley.
5. Move the engine back.
When adjusting the belts, make sure that the clutch pulley is in alignment with
exciter pulley.
6. When the V-belt tension is correct, tighten the jam nuts B and the engine mount bolts.
7. Replace the belt guard.
When removing or installing the drive
belts, be careful not to get your fingers
caught between the belt and pulley!
Exciter Lubrication
The exciter housing is pre-serviced using
automatic transmission fluid (Dextron III,
Merkon, EXXON (ESSO) NUTO H-32 or
equivalent). Change fluid after 200 hours of
operation.
1. Let exciter cool before changing exciter oil.
2. Remove the belt guard and V-belts.
3. Remove the bolts that hold the deck to the
housing.
4. Lift entire deck with engine from housing.
