Maintenance - Finishing Mower
5. Belts: Remove the belt guards to check belt tightness. The center of the belt span should
deflect about 1/2" with nominal pressure. If the belts slip or are too loose, the bolts holding the
gearbox must be loosened. Use the threaded tightener rod on the gearbox mount to tighten
the belts. Lock the rod in place and re-tighten the gearbox bolts when the belts are properly
tightened. Replace belt guards. Changing belts follows the same procedure as given in the
preceding paragraph, except you will have to loosen the belts further to remove them. The
belt installation is shown in the following drawing. NOTE: Belts should always be replaced in
matched sets.
6. Tires:
- Maintain proper air pressure in tires.
- 50 psi (345 kPa) max. for 4’, 5’, & 6’ Finishing Mowers
- 40 psi (276 kPa) max. for 7’ Finishing Mowers
