2. Loose tension: Ensure the drive belt is properly tensioned according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Loose tension can cause the belt to slip and break.
3. Incorrect belt installation: Make sure the drive belt is installed correctly according to the manufacturer's instructions. Incorrect installation can cause the belt to rub against other components, leading to premature wear and breakage.
4. Overheating: Prolonged use in high temperatures or heavy loads can cause the drive belt to overheat and break. Allow the lawn mower to cool down before continuing to use it.
5. Poor-quality belt: If you are using a low-quality drive belt, it is more likely to break prematurely. Invest in a high-quality belt to ensure better durability.
6. Bent crankshaft: In some cases, a bent crankshaft can cause the drive belt to break. Check the crankshaft for any sign of bending or damage.
7. Broken idler pulley: A broken idler pulley can cause the drive belt to slip and break. Inspect the idler pulley and replace it if necessary.
