Mountfield SP534-ES User manual

Loss of Drive

On self-propelled lawnmowers it is possible for the drive belt to slip of its drive pulleys resulting in a

loss of drive. The engine will still start as normal and the blades rotate however, the mower fails to

propel itself along the ground when the drive is engaged.

The replacing or retting of a drive belt is not covered by warranty however, retting the belt is a

simple process as outlined below.

These instructions are specic to the following model -

SP534ES

Instructions for retting the drive belt are as follows -

www.servicelink.org.uk

• Remove the grassbox

• Remove the spark plug cap (for safety

reasons)

• Without tipping the mower forwards

or sideways, lift the mower up onto

a workbench on all 4 wheels, and

position the backwheels close to the

edge of the workbench

• Raise the stone guard (part 11), and

tip the mower BACKWARDS so that

the handle hangs over the edge of the

bench – the mower will stand upright

like this

• Mark the blade so that after removing

it you can replace it the correct way

up. Unscrew the blade (normal thread,

turn the spanner anti-clockwise to

unfasten)

• Remove the belt guard plate – this is

the large plate through which the blade

shaft protrudes (part 21), it is between

the blade and the deck of the mower

and held on by 4 screws

• Inspect the belt for signs of damage and replace if required. Replacement belts can be obtained

via your local dealer which can be found via the ServiceLink website (www.servicelink.org.uk)

• Position the belt around the pulley on the blade shaft (part 501)

• On the back axle there is a black box

(the transmission unit) and on the

uppermost face of this is a pulley (part

412)

• Wind the belt onto this pulley as if

winding a chain onto a bicycle wheel

(it may appear that this pulley is at an

angle, but the tension of the belt will

straighten this)

• Ret the belt guard plate and fasten in

place with the four screws

• Re-attach the blade the correct way up

• Ret the spark plug cap on the spark plug

• Carefully lift the mower down onto the ground without tipping it forwards or sideways

• Drive should now be restored to your lawnmower

Please note that replacement parts for your lawnmower can be purchased from your local dealer

who is also able to undertake repairs if required.

Your local dealer can be found via the ServiceLink website - www.servicelink.org.uk
