To service the timing belt:
1. Remove the deck as describe at the begining of
this chapter.
2. Remove the PTO belt by following the steps
described in the previous section of this manual.
3. Remove the PTO belt idler spring.
See Figure 8.9.
4. Remove the timing belt idler stop using a pair of
9/16” wrenches. See Figure 8.10.
NOTE: The idler spring pulley applies the ten-
sion to the timing belt. The timing belt idler stop
will prevent the idler pulley from springing away
from the timing belt during a blade impact. This
helps prevent the blades from jumping time.
