How will this belt match my Scag Turf Tiger 61" deck?

This Stens belt is manufactured to the same length and width as Scag part 481558 — 140 inches long and 5/8 inch wide — and is specified for use on deck applications. Matching raw-edge profile and exact dimensions helps maintain correct pulley engagement and belt routing for a Turf Tiger 61" deck.

• Exact length: 140 inches for proper routing around deck pulleys

What are the practical installation considerations?

Installers should check pulley condition, routing, and tension before fitting a new belt. A new belt will run best on clean, undamaged pulleys and properly adjusted idlers; replace worn pulleys or bearings to extend belt life.

• Inspect pulleys and bearings for wear or nicks before installation
• Follow the mower’s routing diagram for correct belt path
• Tension idlers to manufacturer tolerances to avoid slippage or wear
• Rotate the belt once after installation to seat it evenly
