Section 4 - ADJUSTMENTS & REPAIR
WARNING
DO NOT attempt any maintenance, adjustments or
service with engine and blade running. STOP engine
and blade. Disconnect spark plug wire and secure
away from spark plug. Engine and components are
HOT. Avoid serious burns, allow sufficient time for all
components to cool.
4.4 BELT SERVICE
On self-propelled mowers, the engine belt transmits
power from engine to drive disc. The drive disc powers
the poly-v belt, which engages the transmission that
powers the rear wheels. Should these belts become
worn, they could cause slippage which would impair
mower performance. The condition of the engine belt
and poly-v belt should be checked after every 25 hours
of mower operation.
