1. Park the machine on a level surface.

2. Disengage the PTO, engage the parking brake, and move the motion-control levers outward to the NEUTRAL-LOCK position.

3. Shut off the engine and remove the key.

Parts needed for this procedure:

1. Secure the idler pulley to the mounting bracket using the hex-flange head bolt, and spacer (Figure 1). Torque the bolt to 37 to 45 N∙m (27 to 33 ft-lb).

2. Install the shoulder bolt to the mounting bracket using a nut (Figure 1). Torque the bolt to 37 to 45 N∙m (27 to 33 ft-lb).

3. Secure the mounting bracket to the left machine frame tube, between the plates welded to the tube, using the plate, 2 carriage bolts, and 2 nuts (Figure 2). Torque the bolts to 37 to 45 N∙m (27 to 33 ft-lb).
