MAINTENANCE
G. TO CHANGE THE PUMP DRIVE BELT:
(See Figure 3)
a. Loosen the locknut holding the transaxle drive belt
idler pulley in place and rotate the pulley away from
the transaxle drive belt.
b. Remove the old belt and mount a new belt on to the
pulleys.
c. Rotate the idler pulley back onto the belt and tighten
the locknut holding it in place. The idler pulley should
be adjusted so that a five-pound pull on the belt
between the engine pulley and the pump pulleys
deflects the belt about 3/16”.
