Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position.

1. Park the machine on a level surface, lower the cutting units, shut off the engine, set the parking brake, remove the ignition key, and disconnect the spark plug.

2. Remove the roller, spring washers, pull link assemblies, flat washers, lockwashers, and grease screws from the pull frame (Figure 1).
