I went to the tech section and I RTFM. :roll:
I did a search of previous posts. :thumbdown:
If the answer is here, I could not find it, and you can all beat up on me. :crazy:
I recently leveled my deck after installing new blades.
In reading the new sticker on the re-painted deck, it said to tighten the spring until the gap is 2x the diameter of the spring coil.
I had always gapped at 1x, but I just figured I was wrong...
Just looked at the K46 manual and it says 1x ! :facepalm:
Mowed today @ 78 degrees outside. :mowlawn:
My OEM belt with about 1-1/2 seasons on it failed. Three of the seven cords came out one side, belt twisted, derailed, overheated, yadda yadda yadda. :facepalm:
So assuming no flaw in the belt, did I more then likely over tighten the belt, or was it too loose? :headscratcher:
I want to correct whatever I did so that Brian H. can't retire on my belt purchases and leave all you guys in the lurch. :mrgreen:
