Mower Belt Replacement
NOTICE
To avoid damaging belts, do not pry over pulleys.
1. Park the mower on a smooth level surface such as a
concrete floor. Disengage the PTO, engage the parking
brake, turn off the engine and remove the ignition key.
2. Lower the mower deck to its lowest cutting position and
remove the mower deck guards and floor pan to gain access
to the mower deck belt.
WARNING
Use extreme caution when rotating the idler arm with the
breaker bar, due to the increased tension in the spring as the
idler arm is being rotated. Injury may result if the breaker bar
is prematurely released while the spring is under tension.
3. Using a 1/2" breaker bar, place the square end in the square
hole located in the end of the idler arm (A, Figures 50 & 51)
• For 52" Models: Carefully rotate the breaker bar
counter-clockwise, which will relieve the tension on
the belt exerted from the idler arm.

• For 61" Models: Carefully rotate the breaker bar
clockwise, which will relieve the tension on the belt
exerted from the idler arm.
