13. Slide the engine pulley down far enough to slip the
belt off of the pulley. See Figure 5.6.
NOTE: Note the direction of the key in the engine pulley. It
should be facing down. If the pulley is installed
upside down, the belt alignment will be off.
NOTE: When installing the engine pulley and electric PTO,
coat the crank shaft with anti-seize. This will ease
pulley and clutch removal in the future.
NOTE: If the engine pulley is seized to the crankshaft, the
engine bolts can be removed to slide the engine to
the rear. This will provide enough clearance to
remove the belt.
14. The belt can now be snaked out of the mower.
15. Install the belt following the above steps in reverse order.
NOTE: Tighten the electric PTO clutch bolt to a torque of 450 - 600 in-lbs (51 - 68 Nm).
16. Test drive the mower before returning to service.
