I HIT SOMETHING BIG WITH THE VENTRAC!!

What happens here

Begin by removing the protective cover from the top of the mower deck. This typically involves lifting it off. Next, locate the tension bar on the front of the Ventrac mower and pull it up to release the belt tension. This action disengages the mower blades from the engine's power, making it safe to proceed with further maintenance.

Goal: Remove the top cover of the mower deck and then release the belt tension to prepare the machine for maintenance access.
