Deck Belt Removal
Park on a level surface. Apply park brake. Lower the

1. Remove foot plate and belt shields.
2. Remove any dirt or grass that may have
accumulated around the cutter housings and
entire deck surface.
3. With a ½" breaker bar and using the square
opening in the idler arm, shift the arm counter
clockwise to relieve the tension on the belt.
4. Carefully roll the belt over the top of the cutter
housing pulleys.

and set belt guide aside.

Deck Belt Installation
NOTE: For ease in installing the deck belt, refer to the
routing decal on the cutting deck.
1. Place the belt around all the pulleys except the
center spindle pulley.
2. With a ½" breaker bar, shift the idler arm counter
clockwise. When there is enough slack, slip the
belt onto the center spindle pulley.
3. Reinstall the belt guide removed in Step 5 above.
4. Double check belt routing to make sure it matches
the routing decal, and that the belt does not have
any twist. Correct if needed.
