Inspecting the Belts
Inspect all belts every 100 hours.
Check the belts for cracks, frayed edges, burn marks,
or any other damage. Replace damaged belts.
Squealing when the belt is rotating, blades slipping
when cutting grass, frayed belt edges, burn marks, and
cracks are signs of a worn mower belt. Replace the
mower belt if any of these conditions are evident.

the blade control switch.
2. Move the motion control levers to the brake
