Yes, this is a genuine Flymo drive belt, part number 5137872007, made by Contitech Hop.
Can I install this belt myself?

What is the expected lifespan of this drive belt?

Troubleshooting
Lawnmower blades are not spinning after belt replacement
Ensure the belt is correctly seated on both the motor pulley and the blade pulley. Check that the belt is not overly slack and that there are no obstructions preventing the blade from rotating freely.
New belt feels too tight or too loose
Confirm you have ordered the correct part number (5137872007) for your specific Flymo model. Some tension is expected, but excessive tightness or looseness may indicate an incorrect part or an issue with the pulleys.
Belt broke shortly after installation
This could indicate a sharp edge on a pulley, misalignment, or that the mower experienced a sudden impact or blockage that caused the blade to jam. Inspect pulleys for damage and ensure no foreign objects are causing the blade to bind.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This drive belt is specifically designed for the Flymo Turbo Lite 350 and Flymo Turbo Lite 400 lawnmower models. Always verify your lawnmower's model number before purchasing to ensure correct fitment.
Setup and Installation:
- Safety First: Ensure the lawnmower is unplugged from the power source and the spark plug is disconnected (if applicable) before beginning.
- Access the Belt: You will typically need to remove the mower deck cover or housing to access the drive belt.
- Remove Old Belt: Carefully slide the old belt off the motor pulley and the blade pulley.
- Install New Belt: Loop the new belt around the motor pulley first, then carefully stretch it over the blade pulley. Ensure it sits correctly in the grooves of both pulleys.
- Reassemble: Replace any covers or housings that were removed.
- Test: Plug in the mower and test its function.
Care:
- Avoid Contamination: Keep the belt free from oil, grease, and excessive dirt, as these can degrade the rubber.
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check the belt for signs of wear, cracking, or fraying, especially after heavy use or during seasonal storage.
- Proper Storage: Store the lawnmower in a clean, dry place. If storing for an extended period, ensure the belt is not under excessive tension or resting in a position that could cause it to deform.
