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 (Fig. 43). 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.
