SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE 5. Raise the deck to the position that provides the most horizontal run of the belt between the deck idler pulleys and the PTO pulley on the bottom of the engine. 6. Make certain the belt is in the spindle pulleys of the deck and that the backside of the belt is against both the fixed and movable idler pulleys. 7. Sitting behind the tractor, facing forward, make certain the belt is not twisted; then reach beneath the tractor to grasp the belt and pull it toward the PTO pulley. 42" Decks (d) (a) (d) (c) (c) (b) WARNING Use caution to avoid pinching your fingers when rolling the belt onto the PTO pulley. 8. Pull the right side of the PTO belt rearward and place the narrow V-side of the PTO belt into the PTO pulley. See Figure 42 on page 28. 9. While holding the PTO belt and PTO pulley together, rotate the PTO pulley to the left (See Figure 42 on page 28). Continue holding and rotating the PTO pulley and PTO belt until the PTO belt is fully rolled into the PTO pulley.
