5. Route the new belt around the pulleys on the deck, following the same path as the old belt. Make sure the belt is properly seated in all the pulleys.
6. Re-engage the belt tensioner pulley by either releasing the spring-loaded arm or using a tool to hold it in place.
7. Reattach the mower deck to the mower, making sure all pins and bolts are properly secured.
8. Test the mower to ensure the belt is properly installed and functioning correctly.

1. Disconnect the spark plug wire: Ensure that the spark plug wire is disconnected from the spark plug to prevent accidental starting of the engine.

3. Remove the old belt: Locate the transmission drive belt and remove the belt from the transmission pulley and the engine pulley. Take note of the belt routing before removing the old belt.
4. Install the new belt: Route the new belt around the engine pulley and the transmission pulley according to the belt routing diagram. Ensure that the belt is properly seated in the pulleys and the tensioner.
