Belt slipped off Husqvarna

I was cutting leaves and they got up in the belt path and made it slip off. I checked the owner's manual for how to change the belt. My belt is fine. Do I really have to remove the deck to get the belt back on? Seems like there would be an easier way. Thanks.

Very easy to remove the deck.
But you should not have to just to put the belt back on.

Which belt came off ?

Care to narrow it down a bit or would you like the belt changing proceedures for all 1159 ?

Heard the joke about the 4 blind men and the elephant ?
Well we are the 4 blind men and your mower is the elephant.

Usually there is a guard you have to remove, or a pulley that is too close to the frame when you try to replace a belt. Most of the time when one slips off it does so in a way that they can be put back on. If the way the belt serpentine's is obvious, just slip it back on while rolling whichever pulley and you're good to go. Otherwise give berts your model number so he can direct you a bit better.
