Drive Belt Replacement
Detach the mower deck from the power unit.
Remove the drive pulley shield.
Remove the old drive belt.
Install the new drive belt over the pulley and
replace the drive pulley shield.
Deck Belt Replacement
Detach the mower deck from the power unit.
Raise the deck shield, remove the left and right
spindle pulley shields, and release the deck belt
tensioning spring.
Remove the old belt.
Install the new deck belt. Place the belt into the
pulley system according to the belt diagram
located on the underside of the deck shield.
Ensure the belt is engaged in the groove of each
pulley.
Engage the deck belt tensioning spring.
Drive Belt Tensioning Adjustments
Both drive belts of the MC600 mower are spring
loaded to maintain proper belt tension. No adjust-
ments are required.
Tire Pressure
Tire inflation should be maintained at 8-10 PSI.
Pressure variance between the left and right tires
can cause an uneven cut.
Deck Leveling Procedure
Place the mower on a hard surface that is clean
and level.
Place the height adjustment pin in the normal
cutting height position (ie. If the deck is usually
set at 2” (51mm) to mow, set it at 2” (51 mm) to
level the deck).
Ensure both front tires are inflated to the recom-
mended tire pressure (See Tire Pressure section).

Check the mower blades to ensure they are not
bent.
Starting at either side of the deck, turn the blade
so the cutting tip is at the back of the deck.
Measure the distance from the flat surface to the
blade tip.
Rotate the blade so the same tip is at the front
of the deck and measure again. The blade tip
should be level to 1/8” (3 mm) low at the front.
If the measurement at the front of the deck is
higher or more than 1/8” (3 mm) lower, the deck
must be leveled.
To adjust, loosen the jam nuts (A) on the 1/2”
(12.7 mm) connecting link (B) and turn the rod in
or out until the correct measurement is reached.
When adjustments are complete, retighten the
jam nuts on the connecting link.

Repeat steps 5 through 7 for the opposite side of
the deck. Adjusting one side can affect the oppo-
site side, so care must be taken to recheck both
sides of the deck when leveling is complete.
