4.4 BELT SERVICE
On self-propelled mowers, the engine belt transmits
power from engine to drive disc. The drive disc
powers the poly-v belt, which engages the
transmission that powers the rear wheels. Should
these belts become worn, they could cause slippage,
which would impair mower performance. The
condition of the engine belt and poly-v belt should be
checked after every 25 hours of mower operation.
4.4.1. Engine Drive Belt Replacement
(Stretch Type Belts)
1. Empty the fuel tank.
2. Note the belt routing in Figure 4.15. There is no
idler pulley on these models to disconnect. See
Figure 4.15.
