Changing Belt From Low Range to High Range

To avoid personal injury, shut off the engine, let all moving

parts come to a complete stop, then disconnect the spark

plug wire from the spark plug and move the wire away

from the spark plug before making any adjustments. Wait

for the engine and muffler to cool down.
Move the Wheels/Tines/PTO Drive Lever into NEUTRAL.

WARNING!

The HIGH speed belt range position

combined with a FAST wheel speed setting propels

the tiller at the fastest pace. Reduce the engine

throttle speed when starting out to help avoid

personal injury or property damage if using this

speed combination.

Kneel on the left side of tiller. To create belt slack, reach

over to the right side of the pulleys and push in at the

center of the belt with a finger. At the same time, use your

left hand to work the belt part-way onto the lower-front

transmission pulley groove. See Fig. 4-7.

Go to the other side of the tiller to finish seating the belt

onto the pulley groove.

Working from the left side of the tiller, work the belt as

much as possible onto the top-front engine pulley groove.

See Fig. 4-8.

Finish seating the belt from the right side of the tiller.
NOTE: Proper belt tension is important for good

performance. See the Maintenance & Adjustment Section

for instructions on adjusting belt tension.
NOTE: If extra belt slack is needed to move the belt, just

raise the Wheels/Tines/PTO Drive Lever up into REVERSE.

This lowers the engine pulley, and creates more slack.
Check both sides of the high range pulley grooves to verify

that the belt is properly seated.
