maintenance work.
2. Install articulation lock bar to the front and rear of the
frame by following the procedures described on page
7-10.
3. Open the side cover to access the engine.
4. With the belt installed, verify that neither tensioner arm
stop is in contact with the spring casing stop. If either
stop is touching, drive belt (1) must be replaced.
After replacing the belt, if the tensioner arm stops
are still in contact with the spring case stop, the belt
tensioner must be replaced.
5. Check tensioner (2) for cracks on arm, pulley, and stops. If
any cracks are observed, the drive belt tensioner must be
replaced.

dealer for cleaning or replacement.

cause belt wear, belt roll-off failures, or increase uneven
tensioner bushing wear.
