Repositioning the belt

Loosen the tensioner pulley - Slightly loosen the screw of the tensioner pulley (28) to create space and allow the belt to pass
Place the belt around the pulley - Position the V-belt around the loosened tensioner pulley
Follow the guidance - Thread the belt around all the pulleys in the correct order by following the alignment indicator stickers present on the cutting deck
Tighten the tensioner pulley - Once the belt is correctly positioned on all the pulleys, retighten the screw of the tensioner pulley (30/31)

Important: The guidance and position of the belt vary by model. Always follow the indicator stickers present on the cutting deck for correct positioning.

Question 2

What is the problem if I do not hear a click when starting the AL-KO Solo 220 l?

Accepted Answer

The clicking sound you should hear when starting the AL-KO Solo 220 l corresponds to the activation of the safety switches of the tractor. This tone indicates that the safety systems are functioning correctly.

If you do not hear this clicking sound, it may indicate:

A faulty switch - The tractor has several safety switches (parking brake, cutting deck, seat, collection bin, ejection channel). The absence of a click may mean that one of these switches is no longer emitting the expected sound signal.
An electrical problem - A poor connection or a damaged wire in the switch circuit may prevent the sound from being emitted.
A starting malfunction - If none of the switches emit a signal, first check that you are correctly pressing the brake pedal (it must be locked) and that the cutting deck is not active.

Before considering a repair, make sure that the engine speed is properly set to the starter (upper stop) and that you turn the key to position III. If the engine starts anyway without this click, the problem is not critical for immediate operation, but we recommend having the safety switches checked by a technician.
