end of the long rod (Figure 199). Slide the rod out
of the mower mount. Repeat this step on the
opposite side of the mower.
Important:
Tape or tie the long rods against the
chassis to protect them from damage when you
remove the mower.
10. Remove the mower belt from the lower engine
pulley (Figure 200). If you are careful, you can flex
the belt guide(s) just far enough away from the
pulley to remove the belt. If it is too difficult to
remove the belt, loosen the bolts and nuts
securing the belt guides.
Important:
Do not bend the belt guide(s) away from
the pulley because the belt will not operate properly
when the mower is installed later.
