Installing the Blower Pulley
1. Pull on the mower idler assembly to release belt tension
and remove the blade drive belt from the right side
pulley; refer to the machine Operator’s Manual for

turning while you remove the pulley nut. If the blade slips,
hold the hex portion of the spindle with a wrench.
