Adjustments (Continued)

Belt engagement should occur when front

edge of Mower Clutch lever is positioned in

line with rear edge of forward notch of

quadrant (as viewed through slot in left side of

cowl). Full locked in engagement should occur

when lever is positioned completely into front

notch of quadrant. (Some resistance should be

felt when moving lever into notch.)

IMPORTANT: Over-tightening belt will result in

premature belt and bearing wear.

To adjust, place height control lever in mid-

notch position, and tighten cap screw at ad

justment yoke on front of unit with a 3/4”

socket wrench.

When tightening cap screw, hold Mower

Clutch lever so that front edge of lever is posi

tioned in fine with rear edge of forward notch

of quadrant, (tighten belt just enough to pre

vent slippage under load). Mower Clutch lever

(when tighteningicap screw) will move slightly

to rear of this point when tension is correct.

CAUTION: Use sturdy gloves or padding

to protect hands when working with

mower blades. Rotate mower blade with

Mower Clutch disengaged (OUT) and

take measurements with Mower Clutch

engaged (IN).

NOTE: A wood block (about 1” square by 5”

long) may be used under pan for blade

measurement. Wrap block with masking tape,

mark tape with cutting edge of blade and

measure distance from end of block to mark(s).

(This method avoids errors by having to read

any measurements under pan.)

With riding mower positioned bn a smooth,

flat, level surface and tire pressure properly

set, preform the following procedures in order

of appearance.

The cutting height range is 1” to 4”. To check,

lower mower pan with Mower Height lever to

its lowest cutting height, rotate, one blade tip

to discharge opening and measure distance

from blade tip to surface. Distance from blade

tip to surface should be 1”. Rotate blade 180

degrees and measure other blade tip. The dif

ference in measurement between blade tips

should not be greater than 3/16”. If it is greater

than 3/16” see your Ariens dealer to have it

corrected.

To adjust cutting height, proceed with pitch

and level instructions as follows.
