MAINTENANCE
Cutter Housings
Grease housings once weekly or every 40 to 50 hours
of use. Use a good synthetic grease. Pump grease in
until a small amount purges from the poppet on the
underside of the deck. Check the torque of the pulley
bolt (45 ft/lbs) should be maintained.
Checking the parking Brake
Visually check that no damage is found on the lever,
links, or switch belonging to the parking brake. Perform
a test drive and check that there is sufficient braking
action.
To adjust the parking brake, contact the Yazoo/Kees
service workshop.
Checking the Deck belt
Check every 100 hours of operation. Check for severe
cracking and large nicks.
NOTE: The belt will show some small cracks
in normal operation.
To replace belt:
Lower the deck to its lowest position. Remove 1.
the foot plate and belt shields.
Use a ratchet with a 2. 9 /
16
" socket on the spring
idler bolt to relieve the tension on the belt.
Slide the belt off the pulley and remove the belt. 3.
Reverse the procedure for installation. See 4.
the decal on the top of deck for belt routing
information.
After installation is complete check the belt for 5.
twists.
Checking the pump belt
Check belt every 100 hours for excessive wear.
To replace belt, relieve tension on the deck belt
and remove deck belt from clutch. (See deck belt
instructions on previous page.) Loosen bolt on the
clutch tie down and rotate out of the way. Using a ½"
drive ratchet inserted into the square hole in the pump
idler arm relieve the tension on the pump belt and
remove belt.
To reinstall belt, swing pump idler pulley out toward
engine to route belt around it. Route belt around right
the pulley for the left side first (right hand pulley in the
illustration).
Reinstall idler spring and use the ratchet to rotate idler
so the belt may be installed all the way around the last
