MAINTENANCE
PTO Drive Belt (If Applicable)
Belt Inspection
Check the PTO drive belt at the correct service interval as outlined in the Periodic
Maintenance Chart beginning on page 73.
The PTO drive belt has a constant tension idler to keep the correct tension on the belt.
1. Stop the machine on a flat level surface. Put the gear selector in Park, stop the engine and
exit the vehicle. See page 40.
2. Raise the cargo box. See page 57.
3. The drive belt idler is under constant spring load to keep the belt at the correct tension.
No adjustment can be made.
4. If belt slippage is noticed, the belt and / or the constant tension pulley must be replaced.
5. Inspect belt condition. If belt wear, including the side
of the belt is visible, belt replacement is needed. See
your dealer for service).
Tip: If the PTO belt needs replacement, the bell housing and
hydrostatic pump removal is required. See your dealer for
service.
PTO Gearbox (If Applicable)
Checking PTO Gearbox Fluid
Tip: Periodic inspection of the gearbox fluid is not needed.
Visually inspect the gearbox for fluid leaks. If any leak is
suspected, then check fluid level.
Check the PTO gearbox fluid as outlined in the Periodic
Maintenance Chart beginning on page 73.
The PTO gearbox requires special synthetic fluid. Use
only recommended fluid in the PTO gearcase.
1. Stop the machine on a flat level surface. Put the
gear selector in Park, stop the engine and exit the
vehicle. See page 40.
2. To check the fluid level, the breather tube fitting
must be removed and the fluid level check through
the fitting opening. This port must be used for
checking the fluid level as the other plug in the top
cover is positioned over a gear so there is no access
to the bottom of the gearcase.
