When refered The LHS and RHS of the mower is as you sit on it

remove the cutting deck first pull the silver pins at the back of the deck towards you so the rear of the deck is free there is a pin on the lhs and one on the rhs

There is a idler bearing adjusting arm on the deck from the lhs pull it toward you this will loosen the belt so it can be removed from the engine pulley

There is also a steel rod that may need to be adjusted under the engine pulley it can be adjusted from the rhs by pushing it tward the pulley

Then manover the deck forward pushing the front deck locating down then up then slide the deck out to the rhs

fit the deck belt as per the manufacturers instruction either on the mower or in your book this belt is different for the 42" and 46" decks

Push the seat forward then disconnect the battery and remove the battery box

Under the mower on the rhs is a tension spring holding the adjester rod for the upper small belt disconnet it from the chassis by pulling it forward and out

remove the small belt through the battery box

The main drive belt will be loose to get it off you need to disconnect the electrical plug at the front engine pulley on the rhs and undo the puley bolt from under the mower
