Small branches and other similar debris can
get onto the top of the deck, into the pulleys,
which may cause the belt(s) to break or come
off the pulleys. Make sure the area to be
mowed is cleared of this debris, and make
sure all belt guards are in place, before
mowing.
To guarantee long belt life, always use
genuine Gravely belts.

1. With the deck in the transport position,
raise the floor pan. To disengage the
drive belt, latch the tension arm in its
deck bracket. Roll the drive belt off the
idler pulley.
2. Install a new drive belt, making sure it is
routed according to the decal on the
bottom of the floor pan, see figure 32.
Unlock the belt tension arm so the belt is
tensioned and ready for operation.
3. Lower the floor pan.

Drive Belt Removal and Installation
instructions.
