to
realign the
Sheaves using details provided
in
the Sheave
Alignment topic
in
the Service section of this
manual. If Belt tension
is
too tight, the Pumps will
NOT
disengage. If tension
is
too loose, the Belt will
slip and wear faster. I mproper Belt tension likewise
causes excessive wear and early failure.
A
WARNING: Attempt Belt tension readjust-
ment ONLY after the correct Traction T -bar

adjustment.
To readjust the
Pump

and properly block the Loader up so
that
all
four
Tires
are
NOT
touching the ground.
Raising the Loader can
be
conveniently accomplished by
first placing two equal height (approximately

tall)
solid blocks
of
wood (at least 2 feet long) parallel with the
rear Wheels and under the rear corners
of
the Loader

in
this
position. Shut the engine off and carefully leave the
Loader to block it up BEFORE attempting
to
restart
the engine or to perform any adjustment or service
routines. DO
NOT
rely on the Loader Hydraulics to
maintain this position without additional blocking
or supporting.
With the Loader Tires off the ground, shut the engine off
and remove the Ignition Key. Next, remove the Seat
assembly for access to the Drive Belt. Then, loosen (but
do
NOT
remove) the (4) bolts which secure the Idler and
Pump
Mounting Plate to the
Frame
. Then, pry the Plate
up as far as possible and snug the
(4)
bolts enough to hold
the Plate in this positions.

are turning. Next, using a rubber malet
or
lead hammer,
tap the corners
of
the Plate down slightly and in equal
amounts until the
Pump
Sheaves stop turning. Then,
shut
the engine off and remove the Ignition Key and
proceed to tightly secure the (4) bolts to fix the Idler and
