2-2 PTO Assembly Installation
Remove the (2) existing nuts and bolts that secure the
rear guard to the rear frame of the mower. Remove
rear right set of hardware that secures the mower fin
to the rear frame of the mower. There are four sets of
mounting holes on the PTO assembly P#(A0610). For
the Pup Series, use the lower set of mounting holes.
For the Outlaw series, use the upper set of mounting
holes. Align the two lower holes on the PTO assembly,
with the holes on the rear frame of the mower and
secure using (2) 3/8”-16 x 1-1/4” HHCS P#(K1192)
and (2) 3/8”-16 nyloc nut P#(K1216). For the Pup
Series, you may need to drill a hole in the rear guard
using a 5/16” drill bit. Secure the PTO assembly to the
upper portion of the rear guard using (1) 3/8”-16 x 3-
1/4” HHCS and (1) 3/8”-16 nyloc nut. Secure the
mower fin to the rear guard and the PTO assembly
using (1) 5-16”-18 x 1-1/4” G8 HHCS P#(K0118) and
(1) 5/16” nyloc nut P#(K1180). Refer to Figure 2-2a
and Figure 2-2b.
2-3 Belt Installation
Remove the pulley guard P#(B0075) by removing the (2)
1/4”-20 x ½” HHSTS P#(K0353), see page 9, diagram #
38 and #39 for part location. Loosen the (2) bolts that
secure the gear box assembly P#(A0429) to the PTO
mount plate (Figure 2-3a). Loosen the adjustment bolt
P#(K0348) until the gear box assembly is at the far left
adjustment (the gear box is moved towards the mower’s
engine pulley). Connect the kevlar cord belt from the
engine pulley to the lower gear box pulley (Figure 2-3b).
For all engine sizes except for the 31HP Kawasaki, use
the A52K belt P#(M0238). For the 31 HP Kawasaki, use
the A53K belt P#(M0247). To tension the drive belt, turn
the adjustment bolt clockwise until there is 1” of
deflection, with 10-11 lbs. of pressure between the
engine pulley and the gear box pulley. Once the correct
tension of the belt is achieved, tighten the (2) bolts that
secure the gear box assembly.
2-4 Cam Assembly Adjustment
The cam assembly P#(A0422), which controls the
blower belt tension, comes from the factory pre-adjusted.
If the belt is too tight or becomes too loose, remove the
hair pin clip P#(K0099) from the belt tension rod
P#(K0326) and pull the “L” end of the rod out of its hole
in the cam assembly. The tension rod may then be
screwed out to tighten the belt or screwed in to loosen
the belt. Replace the “L” end into the top hole in the cam
and replace the hair pin clip. Adjust the cam stop bolt
P#(K1159) to allow the cam to rotate slightly over center
when the blower is disengaged (Figure 6).
