Setup (Replacement):
Replacing the drive belt typically involves:
- Safety First: Ensure the lawnmower is switched off, unplugged (if electric), or the spark plug is disconnected (if petrol) to prevent accidental starting.
- Access the Belt: You may need to remove the mower deck or housing to access the old belt. Consult your lawnmower's service manual for specific instructions.
- Remove Old Belt: Carefully detach the old belt from the pulleys.
- Install New Belt: Route the new FL266 Poly V Belt around the pulleys, ensuring it sits correctly in the grooves.
- Tension Check: Ensure the belt has the proper tension as per your lawnmower's manual. Some systems have automatic tensioners, while others may require manual adjustment.
- Reassemble: Replace any removed panels or housing.
Care:
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the belt for signs of wear, such as cracks, fraying, or glazing (a shiny appearance on the belt surface).
- Cleaning: Keep the belt and surrounding areas clean from excessive grass clippings, dirt, or debris that could cause premature wear or slippage.
- Storage: If storing the mower for an extended period, ensure the belt is not under undue tension.
