CLEANING GRASS BUILDUP FROM

DECK

Cleaning the underside of the deck regularly

will help maintain deck cutting efficiency.

Clean the underside of the deck as often as

possible.

To gain access to the underside of the deck,

depress the deck lift foot pedal and lock it in

the transport position. Move the deck cut

height adjustment to the highest setting.

Raise the front of the power unit and support

it with jackstands.

Clean out any grass buildup from under the

deck and discharge shield. DO NOT use high

pressure washers or sprayers.

BELTS

Inspect the belt pulley grooves and flanges

for wear. A new belt, or one in good condition,

should not contact the bottom of the pulley

groove. Replace the belt when the belt

touches the bottom of the groove otherwise

the belt will slip excessively.

Always use caution when changing a belt.

Never pry a belt on to a pulley.

Always keep oil and grease away from the

belts and never use belt dressings.

Belts should be checked regularly, and

replaced at approximately 250 hour intervals.

Belts should also be replaced any time the

belt(s) show evidence of cracking, missing

pieces, friction burns from slipping, or other

extreme damage. Small cracks or fabric

polishing are normal.

Small branches and other similar debris can

get onto the top of the deck, into the pulleys,

which may cause the belt(s) to break or come

off the pulleys. Make sure the area to be

mowed is cleared of this debris, and make

sure all belt guards are in place, before

mowing.

To guarantee long belt life, always use

genuine Ariens belts.

Drive Belt Removal and Installation

1. With the deck in the transport position,

raise the floor pan. To disengage the

drive belt, latch the tension arm in its

deck bracket. Roll the drive belt off the

idler pulley.

2. Install a new drive belt, making sure it is

routed according to the decal on the

bottom of the floor pan, see figure 32.

Unlock the belt tension arm so the belt is

tensioned and ready for operation.

3. Lower the floor pan.

CAUTION: Before cleaning grass

buildup, be sure the engine has

stopped and the key has been

removed.
