Introduction
This manual provides essential information for the proper installation, function, and maintenance of the Exmark 109-6935 Belt Cover. This component is designed to protect the flat belt system on compatible Exmark Lazer Z, Quest, and Turf Tracer series lawnmowers. Refer to your equipment's original owner's manual for specific instructions and safety guidelines related to your machine.
Safety Information
Always prioritize safety when working with machinery. Failure to follow safety precautions can result in serious injury or damage to equipment.
- Ensure the lawnmower is turned off, the engine is cool, and the spark plug wire is disconnected before attempting any installation or maintenance.
- Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as gloves and eye protection.
- Keep hands and clothing clear of moving parts.
- If you are unsure about any procedure, consult a qualified service technician or your equipment's owner's manual.
Installation
The Exmark 109-6935 Belt Cover is a direct replacement part. Follow these general steps for installation. Specific steps may vary by mower model; always refer to your equipment's service manual.
- Prepare the Equipment: Park the lawnmower on a flat, stable surface. Turn off the engine, remove the ignition key, and disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Allow the engine and any hot components to cool down.
- Locate the Belt Area: Identify the area where the belt cover needs to be installed. This is typically over the drive or deck belts.
- Remove Old Cover (if applicable): If replacing an existing cover, carefully remove any fasteners (bolts, clips, etc.) securing the old cover. Note their positions for reinstallation.
- Position New Cover: Align the Exmark 109-6935 Belt Cover with the mounting points on the mower frame or deck. Ensure it fits snugly over the belt system without obstructing any moving parts.
- Secure the Cover: Reinstall any fasteners removed in step 3, or use new fasteners if provided. Tighten them securely, but do not overtighten, especially if the cover is plastic.
- Verify Installation: Gently check that the cover is firmly in place and does not rattle or interfere with any components. Reconnect the spark plug wire before operating the mower.

Operating Function
The Exmark 109-6935 Belt Cover serves as a protective barrier for the mower's flat belt system. Its primary functions include:
- Debris Protection: Prevents grass clippings, dirt, and other foreign objects from accumulating on or interfering with the belts and pulleys.
- Operator Safety: Reduces the risk of accidental contact with moving belts during operation.
- Component Longevity: By shielding the belts from environmental elements and physical damage, it contributes to the extended lifespan of the drive system components.
Maintenance
Regular inspection and cleaning of the belt cover will help maintain its effectiveness and the overall performance of your equipment.
- Cleaning: Periodically remove the belt cover and clean any accumulated grass, dirt, or debris from both the inside and outside surfaces. A brush or compressed air can be used. Ensure the cover is dry before reinstallation.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the belt cover for cracks, damage, or signs of wear. Check that all mounting points are intact and that the cover is securely fastened.
- Replacement: If the belt cover becomes significantly damaged, cracked, or no longer fits securely, it should be replaced to ensure continued protection and safety.
Troubleshooting
While the belt cover is a passive component, issues related to its installation or condition can sometimes manifest.
- Rattling Noise: If you hear a rattling noise coming from the belt area, check that the belt cover is securely fastened. Loose fasteners can cause vibration and noise.
- Debris Accumulation: If excessive debris is accumulating under the cover, ensure the cover is correctly seated and not warped or damaged, which could create gaps.
- Belt Wear: While not directly caused by the cover, if belts are showing unusual wear, ensure the cover is not rubbing against them due to improper installation or damage.
For any issues not resolved by these steps, consult your equipment's owner's manual or a certified Exmark service technician.
