ADJUSTMENT FOR REEL AND DRIVE BELTS
Over time, the belts will naturally need adjusting
due to the use of the equipment. Inspect belts
daily to ensure proper operation of the unit.
Before adjusting belts, make sure to:
1. Loosen the transmission mounting plate A and
chain idler sprocket hardware.
2. Clean the underside of chassis to allow
movement of the engine and loosen the engine
mounting hardware.
3. Loosen the hardware securing the mounting plate
B (supporting the reel drive pulley) and the pillow
block.
4. Loosen the set screw in the locking collar C on
the drive shaft. Insert a punch in the small hole in
the collar and use a hammer to tap the collar
clockwise (opposite direction of engine rotation)
until it's loose (approx. 1/4 turn).
5. Make sure the springs are in place on the drive
belt idler arm and the reel belt idler arm.
6. Slide transmission and mounting plate toward the
rear of unit as far as possible. Tighten
transmission mounting hardware.
7. Position engine so it is square with the chassis
and tighten either the two front or the two rear
mounting screws.
8. Engage the reel drive clutch. Measure the
distance between the reel drive belts and the
forward edge of the idler assembly belt stop.
Measurement D should be 3/4" (19 mm). If
necessary, reposition engine to obtain proper
dimension.
9. Engage the drive clutch. Measure the distance
from the top edge of the idler pulley F, to the top
edge of the drive belt G. The measurement E
should be 1-3/4" to 2" (44 to 51 mm).
10. If measurement is less than 1-3/4" (44 mm) slide
transmission forward until proper dimension is
obtained.
