What happens here

Start the Ventrac mower's engine. Engage the hydraulic lift to raise the mower deck to its highest possible position. Once elevated, locate the four pins (two on each side) that secure the deck in its operational position. Use needle-nose pliers if necessary to remove two of these pins, which will allow the deck to pivot. Carefully tilt the deck upwards until it is fully inverted, exposing the blades. Secure the deck in the upright position by inserting a kickstand pin into its designated slot. This ensures the deck remains stable and prevents accidental lowering during maintenance.

Goal: Start the mower, raise the deck to its maximum height, and then remove specific pins to allow the deck to pivot upwards, securing it in place for safe access to the blades.
