Installation Tips

• Disconnect the spark plug wire and engage the parking brake before starting maintenance.
• Clean all pulleys of debris and grass buildup to ensure smooth belt seating.
• Check all idler pulleys and spindle bearings for smooth rotation while the belt is removed.
• Route the belt according to the machine's deck diagram; ensure the V-side is seated correctly in the pulley grooves.
• Verify that the tensioning mechanism moves freely and applies adequate pressure after installation.
