DECK BELT ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE ALL VIEWS WITH ENGINE AND GUARDS REMOVED For easier access to the belt engagement system when doing major repair, remove the engine with it's mount. Blade brake is activated by the torsion spring around the pivot bolt. It is important that brake stop the pulley on the blade assembly when the clutch is disengaged. This bolt stops the travel of the idler before it strikes the engine pulley if the belt gets worn too thin. As the belt idler tightens the the belt to start the blades turning it also removes the brake from the blade spindle pulley. Stop for the tail of the torsion spring. To increase the the tension on the drive belt, adjust this nut and the one on the other side of the bracket, counter clockwise. Always check the operation of the blade brake on the spindle pulley after the adjustment, since they are both affected by the adjustment of the cable. The stopping point has to be when the brake is no longer able to contact the blade spindle when the engagement lever is released. This is the point where engagement cable is connected when a replacement needs to be installed. Never tighten the nut against the loop on the end of the spring at this bolt or at the other end as it connects to the belt idler. The spring must always have room to rotate on the bolt or it will break off at that point. REPAIRING THE BLADE DRIVER ASSEMBLY Pulley does not have a hub.
