Caution: If the belt guides are improperly set, it may cause the gears to grind when shifting, or
machine movement even when the clutch is disengaged.
Changing Belts:
Always disconnect the spark plug wire before servicing. Chock the wheels.
• Place the gear shifter in neutral.
• Loosen the nuts at the spring support bracket and disconnect the spring.
• With the belts now loose, it will be possible to roll them off the rear pulley by rotating the
pulley backwards and guiding the belt off. It is easier to roll the inside belt off to the
inside of the rear pulley.
• Take the outside belt off the front pulley.
• If you find that the front belt guides need to be loosened, first clean the area around the
guides with a rag, then scribe or mark their location with a scribe or marker. This will
make replacement easier.
• Take the inside belt off the front pulley.
• Place the new belts on the machine. It is easier to place the belts on the engine pulley first,
then roll them onto the rear pulley.
• Replace the belt guides in the original location, if they were removed.
Tire Information:
In addition to visually checking the tires daily, you should check the tire every 50 hours with a
tire pressure gage. The tires have tubes.
• Front tire pressure should be kept at 30 psi. Type: 4.00-6 4PR The maximum load rating
is 265 pounds at 31 Psi.
• Rear tire pressure should be kept at 26 psi. Type: 19 x 8.00-10 4pr The maximum load
rating is 825 pounds at 34 Psi.
Engine Mounts:
The engine mounting bolts should be checked for tightness every 50 hours. The rubber
engine mounts should be checked every 25 hours for signs of cracking. Check the engine
crankshaft pulley bolt every 50 hours.
Other Lubrication:
Lubricate cables, all pivot points such as the gear shift pivot, dump latch, seat pivot, clutch
idler, and bed pivot every 200 hours or at least once a month with SAE 30W oil.
There are two grease fittings at the rear of the front wheel mounts. These should receive
grease every 50 hours, using good quality lithium grease.
