Timing belt
To service the timing belt:
1. Remove the deck as described at the beginning of
this chapter.
2. Remove the PTO belt by following the steps
described in the previous section of this manual.
3. Remove the PTO belt idler spring. See Figure 8.23.
4. Remove the timing belt idler stop using a pair of 9/16”
wrenches. See Figure 8.24.
NOTE: The idler spring pulley applies the tension to the
timing belt. The timing belt idler stop will prevent
the idler pulley from springing away from the timing
belt during a blade impact. This helps prevent the
blades from jumping time.
5. Remove the timing belt idler spring. See Figure 8.25.
