    And also to the engine. Please give us the model number from under the seat and we can help get you a download of the manual at OwnerIQ: Product user manuals, help, forums tips and tutorials.

    Hi,
    I did not find a manual. I did find a parts breakdown that only someone like me could like or possibly read. So I chopped out much of the superfluous stuff.
    In the picture the belt goes around the top sheave on the engine's double stack. The right hand side of the belt proceeds back, twists 90 degrees, goes first with its back side against the flat idler (larger center) and its then in the V-idler (smaller center.) It then goes back to the upper V-idler at the transaxle (separate idler with fan) and finally around the input sheave to the pump. It is now back down to the level of that top sheave on the double stack on the engine and it proceeds to it and around the left hand side.
    The drawing does not accurately show if it goes above or between any components, and I cannot say sight unseen.
    Peace,
    Clarke
