three decks to make sure they are at the same

cutting heights.

after a test mowing run.

Belt Tension

Refer to Refer to Figure 3-4:

CAUTION

Belt drive system under spring tension; use care to avoid

bodily harm!

1. Check belt tension by applying force at arrow “A”

with a tension tester until belt deflects 1/4". The force

required to get this deflection should range from

7to10lbs.

2. Adjust belt tension by adjusting eyebolt (#1) as

needed. This adjustment will increase or decrease

tension on spring (#2).

Excessive Belt Tension May Lead to:

• Premature belt damage and drive components.

• A safety hazard to the operator or bystanders.

Not Enough Belt Tension May lead to:

• Premature belt damage due to excessive slipping.

IMPORTANT: Slide-on spacers for the front of the

center deck are all 1/2” long, so double the quantity of

the spacers vs. the spacers on the gauge wheels (i.e.,

two 1” spacers used on gauge wheel vs. four spacers

on the front center deck adjustment).

IMPORTANT: Belt tension should be checked on new

belts after approximately 20 hours of operation.

5. After making height adjustments, always replace

linch pins by inserting them into the gauge wheel

spindle pin holes from the front to keep from loosing

the pins and gauge wheels.

6. Lower mower decks to the field position making sure

all fold cylinders are fully extended.

Refer to Figure 3-3:

7. Adjust front of center deck height to match height at

rear of center deck:

a. Attach jack stand to jack mount located in front of

the center gearbox channel. Make sure stand is

secured with attachment pin.

b. Screw jack out to lift front of mower deck and in to

lower deck front.

c. Place same number and thickness of c-spacers

below the spindle tube as what was placed below

the rear gauge wheel spindle tubes.

d. There is a groove in the carrier rod for adding or

removing c-spacers. Turn the c-spacer so that the

open end will slide in or off the groove as needed.

e. Remove jack stand and return it to the storage

tube located in front of the divider gearbox.

f. Place additional c-spacers above metal spindle

tubes.

Adding or Replacing Spacers

Figure 3-3

IMPORTANT: Linch pins should always be inserted

into the gauge wheel spindle pin holes from the front

so that the locking clasp is ﬂipped shut over the

spindle towards the back. Attaching the pin in this

manner will prevent vegetation from catching on the

clasp and ﬂipping it open while traveling forward.
