Changing The Deck Engagement Belt
Shut the engine off and remove ignition key before removing the cutting
blade(s) for sharpening or replacement. Protect your hands by using heavy
gloves when grasping blades and pulleys.
The V-belts found on your mower are specially designed to engage and
disengage safely. A substitute (non-OEM) V-belt can be dangerous by not
disengaging completely. For a proper working machine, use identical
replacement belts as listed in parts list of this operator's manual.

wear are present . To change or replace the deck engagement belt on your mower,

Fuse
Before servicing, repairing, or inspecting, always disengage blades, stop
engine and remove key to prevent unintended starting.
A 20 Amp fuse is installed in your mower's wiring harness to protect the mower's
electrical system from damage caused by excessive amperage.
If the electrical system does not function, or your mower's engine will not crank,
first check to be certain that the fuse has not blown. It is located near the battery.
Always use a replacement fuse with the same amperage capacity as the
blown fuse.
