HI

My Viking MR380 Ride on broke its drive belt.
I've replaced it but now mower won't start.
It struggles to turn over.
It runs fine with out the drive belt fitted.
I've replaced the battery thinking old one couldn't to turn motor over. This didn't work.
I'm thinking the problem is the drive belt is to tight but I can not see any way to loosen the belt. Manual say refer to your authorised dealer.
Belt runs from off crankshaft below motor to rear axle/gearbox with a pulley to keep tension on belt in between below motor.
Help

Are we talking about a green & white Viking bought from a Stihl Shop or a brand that is local to Kiwi land ?
