Installation Tips

• Remove the ignition key and disconnect the spark plug wires before beginning work to ensure safety.
• Clean debris from the mower deck pulleys before installing the new belt to prevent premature wear.
• Verify that the belt is properly seated in all pulley grooves before applying tension.
• Engage the mower deck at a low engine RPM initially to ensure the belt tracks correctly.
• Check the belt tension after the first hour of operation, as new belts may experience a brief initial stretch period.
