Belt Tension Adjustment - Toro Groundsmaster 300 Series Service Manual

Belt Tension Adjustment (Fig. 11, 12, 13)
NOTE: Check that belts are in good condition and
positioned correctly in the sheaves of the pulleys on the
center section and wing sections of the deck.
IMPORTANT: Check tension on new belts after 10
hours of use.
Wing Section:
NOTE: Block deck in raised position so that it cannot
accidentally lower while belts are being adjusted. Wings
should be in lowered position.
Loosen two (2) capscrews securing spring bracket (nuts
are located under the deck). Slide the spring bracket so
that the rubber bumper at one end just contacts the edge
of the idler arm and tighten the nuts under the deck to
secure the spring bracket. With the spring bracket in this
position the belt is properly tensioned.
