REMOVING THE PERF SHAFT
Loosen the operator side cover. Locate and remove the perf shaft lock collar. 
Next, remove the non-operator side cover. Loosen both of the belt tensioner idler pully’s. You do 
not need to remove these as loosening them will allow enough movement to free the pully’s of 
the perf shaft. Slide the perf shaft out the pulley side. 
It is only necessary to slide the shaft out about 6 to 8 inches. With the shaft slid to the side, you 
can access the lower hubs and reconfigure them as needed to complete any job. After you have 
configured the lower shaft, replace the shaft into its bearing and secure the shaft collar. The 
shaft should not be able to 
move side to side. With 
both drive belts in 
Position, re-tension the 
belt idlers and tighten 
while applying constant 
firm pressure on the belts 
by pushing down on the 
tops of the brackets with 
the large T-handle wrench 
supplied. Replace covers. 
Align upper assemblies 
accordingly.
