Why does the belt grab in pulleys and the unit creeps when the red clutch is not engaged on my ryan Lawn and Garden Equipment?

  This issue may arise from several causes. The belt might be old, frayed, or not the correct type for the unit. Replace it with a factory construction belt designed for belt tightener clutches. Rust or paint in the pulley grooves can also cause this; clean and polish the pulleys. Lastly, if the engine is set too far forward, move it back to resolve the problem.

  The belt may jump off because of the wrong type of belt construction. Use only the special Ryan factory belt. It can also happen if there is too much slack when the belt tightener is disengaged. To fix this, slide the engine forward and readjust the control rod.

  This can occur due to thread wear on the locking nut. Replace the locking nut. Alternatively, the locking nut may not be properly adjusted. Tighten the locking nut on the opposite end of the tie rod.

  Some types of turf and soil make this a problem. To mitigate this, keep the blade extra sharp and ground back at a low angle.

Why won't the blade stay in the ground on my ryan 544954C?

  The blade may not stay in the ground because the bottom of the blade is rounded off. Sharpen or replace the blade. Another reason might be that the blade angle is not properly set. Adjust the blade angle.
