DANGER

Stop engine and remove key from ignition
before leaving operator's seat for any

an idling machine.

normal maintenance or servicing but may
eventually require replacing.

Replace the idler as follows:

key.

release tension on spring until idler (C) and belt

center the idler on the drive belt and must
be re-installed the same location.

locations.

h. Install nut (E) and torque to 150 ft·lbf (203 N·m).
