Blower Installation
1. Install the blower onto the mower deck. Refer to
Figure 19 for the position of the pins w/ lanyards
in relationship to the chute mount bracket on
the mower deck. The pins w/ lanyards fit into
the same holes that the chute mount rod was
installed.
2. Install the blower drive belt. Refer to Figure 20
for the proper belt routing. It may be necessary
to temporarily loosen the idler pulley mounting
hardware to get the belt past the belt keeps.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The gray area denotes the flat
side of the belt. V-side of belt must contact v-groove
pulleys, flat side of belt must contact flat pulleys.
3. Check the belt tension by measuring the distance
from the center of the v-idler pulley (A, Figure
21) mounting bolt and the blower housing. This
should measure between 3 - 3-3/8” (7,6 - 8,6 cm).
4. If measurement falls outside of this range, you
must move the idler pulley (B) either forward or
back to achieve the proper belt tension.
NOTE: If pulley position needs to be adjusted, make
sure that it is reinstalled in the same row of holes as
determined in the blower assembly (Step 9, page
11).
5. Install the blower belt guard (A, Figure 22) and
secure with the flange head bolts previously
removed.
6. Install the deck guard top (B) and secure with the
supplied knobs (C).
