• Never remove the grass deflector from the
mower because the grass deflector routes
material down toward the turf. If the grass
deflector is ever damaged, replace it
immediately.
• Never put your hands or feet under the mower.
• Never try to clear the discharge area or mower
blades unless you move the power take off
(PTO) to Off and rotate the ignition key to Off.
Also remove the key and pull the wire off of the
spark plug(s).
1. Park the machine on a level surface, disengage the
blade control (PTO), set the parking brake, and turn the
ignition key to Off to stop the engine. Remove the key.
2. Turn the front wheels fully to the left. Slide the mower
under the chassis from the right side.
3. Install the mower belt onto the lower engine pulley
(Fig. 5). If you are careful, you can flex the belt
guide(s) just far enough away from the pulley to install
the belt. If it is too difficult to install the belt, loosen the
bolts and nuts securing the belt guides.
Important Do not bend the belt guides away from the
pulley. There must be a maximum 1/8 in. (3 mm) between
the belt guide and the edge of the pulley to keep the belt on
the pulley during operation. If the space is more than 1/8 in.
(3 mm), adjust the belt guide(s) and tighten them securely.
The belt guide must not contact the pulley.
