- Ensure the new drive belt is installed correctly and tensioned according to the manufacturer's specifications.
2. Belt Alignment:
- Check if the belt is aligned properly with the pulleys. Misalignment can cause the belt to slip or jump off.
3. Worn or Damaged Pulleys:
- Inspect the pulleys for wear or damage. If the pulleys are damaged or worn, they can cause the belt to slip or break.
4. Seized or Damaged Transmission:
- Check if the transmission is functioning correctly. A seized or damaged transmission can prevent the mower from moving.
5. Faulty Clutch Mechanism:
- If your mower has a clutch mechanism, check if it's engaging and disengaging correctly. A faulty clutch can cause the mower to stop moving.
6. Mechanical Damage:
- Look for any other signs of mechanical damage that may have occurred during the belt replacement.
If the problem persists, refer to your mower's owner's manual for additional troubleshooting steps or seek assistance from a professional.
