16b. Drive Belts.
Snake decks are fitted with Auto Belt Tension Systems (ABT). This removes the need for the
operator to routinely check belt tensions and adjust.
It is still recommended to routinely check that the ABT system is functioning correctly to
ensure belt tension is maintained.
1. General:
a. Operators familiar with vee belt drives can judge belt tension by pushing the belt with their finger
and feeling the pressure.
b. Belt tension measuring tools can be purchased from reputable vee-belt suppliers.
IMPORTANT! There are several types of vee belts which all look similar.
Fitting the wrong type can radically affect performance. ALWAYS USE
GENUINE TRIMAX SPARE PARTS.
2. Check drive belt tension:
a. Lower the mower decks.
b. Stop the tractor engine, ensure all controls are in neutral, remove the ignition key and wait for
all moving parts to stop.
c. Lift the transmission covers (see section 16a).
d. Check the belt tension by pushing belt as shown by arrow. Belts should deflect between 10-
15mm (3/8 - 5/8”) with moderate finger force, shown by arrow (a).
