NOTE: Your Lawn Deck shipped with the Belt in place on the two Blade Drive

Pulleys. Occasionally, the Belt comes off during shipping. If this occurs,
remove the Left and Right Side Belt Covers from the Deck (Figures 6) with
a 1/2" Wrench and place the Belt back on the Pulleys.

1. Remove the Front Knob and the Main Belt Cover (Figures 6).
2. With the help of another person to steady the DR Field and Brush Mower

Power Unit, line up the Lawn Mower Deck with the Power Unit Attachment
Pin and slide the Lawn Mower Deck onto the Pin.

3. Attach the Collar and insert the Retaining Pin (Figure 7).
4. Mount the Belt on the Field and Brush Mower Engine Pulley. Ensure that the

Belt is routed correctly around the other Pulleys (Figure 8).

5. Push the Belt Tension Release Lever towards the center of the Deck and set

the outside of the Belt against the flat Idler Pulley that is on the Release
Lever.

Tip: Some people push the Lever with their foot.

6. Replace the Main and Side Belt Covers if you removed them.

NOTE: Be certain to replace the Side Belt Cover Hardware in the position and order

that you removed it (see “Schematic – Deck Assembly” in Chapter 6 for
reference when re-installing the covers).
