Snapper Z2002K User Manual

12. H YDROSTATIC TRANSMISSION:
Before each use, check to be sure that the cooling fins of the hydrostatic transmissions are
clean. Excessive accumulation of oil, dirt, or trash may cause the transmission to overheat.
NEVER WASH ACROSS TOP OF RESERVOIR with water or steam. Fill reservoir as required
per instructions page 13 of this manual.
13. H YDROSTAT DRIVE BELT TENSION ADJUSTMENT:
In normal use the hydrostat drive belt tension should be checked after the first 20 hours of use
for normal wear in and stretch. It may be adjusted as follows:
a. Loosen the idler pulley locking nut until the idler pulley can be just moved relative to the
mounting bracket.
b. Tighten the tension adjust bolt until the belt is tight enough to prevent belt slippage. Belt
should deflect approximately 3/8" to 5/8" under moderate pressure. Do not over tighten.
c. Retighten the slide locking nut.
d. Retighten the tension adjust bolt 1/4 turn to set the lockwasher and prevent loosening
of the tension adjust bolt.
UNDER PULLEY AND BRACKET
14. S CALPER ROLLER BOLTS:
Scalper roller bolts should be tightened until the spacer bushing will not turn relative to the scalper
bracket to prevent undue wear on the end of the spacer bushing and the scalper bracket. The
proper torque is from 17 to 20 ft.lb.
