drive pulley. The second belt connects the upper grooves of the center spindle
pulley and the gearbox drive pulley with the right spindle pulley.
9. Lower central plate.
10. Replace front nuts. Tighten front and rear nuts holding down central plate.
11. Turn the adjustment bolt clockwise until the proper belt tension is reached. This will
draw the gearbox support plate to the rear, thus tightening the belts.

13. Retighten the four nuts holding the gearbox support to the central plate and replace
the belt shields.
4.06 - Drivelines and Center Gearbox Timing
DANGER: Only use the original drivelines supplied with this mower and always
with the safety shielding in place. Carefully read and file away the driveline
operator’s manual supplied by the manufacturer. The following does not
substitute the information found in the driveline manual.
Your Flex mower drivelines for the decks are cut to fit in order to deliver a maximum
overlap when extended and without them bottoming out and damaging the mowers
when the Flex is folded into its transport position. It is important to try and maintain
approximately 2” from the two halves from bottoming out and a minimum of 6” overlap in
the working position
(see fig. 24)
.
IMPORTANT: If the wing mowers are moved in or out to change the overlap, or
the drivelines are replaced with new ones, it is important to cut them to the
proper length.
