park mower on level ground or concrete. lower deck all the way down to ground. lay on your side on the right side of mower. several locking pins need to be pulled out of their slots. lay these to the side and do not misplace them. one cable and washer on top of deck need their locking pin removed. second locking pin needs to be removed from same cable guide way toward rear of deck. this makes 4 pins in all from right side. lay on left side of mower on the ground. three pins on this side need to be remove in same manner. raise height lever all the way back up and this will make it possible to clear mower when you slide deck out from under mower to work on deck . after work is complete, slide deck back under mower as close to location it was in when you started. connect all parts and reinsert pins in reverse order of how you took apart.

Usually there is a problem with the belts that drive the blades, after you stop the mower. Take a close look at the belts and assure that the belt is tracking and the pulleys are aligned. If you are unsure of the belt routing recheck the manual.
