  If the belts on your Belco Lawn Mower are sliding, it could be due to several reasons. The belts may need tightening, or they might be wet or worn out. Belts of different lengths can also cause this issue. To resolve this, check and adjust the tension of the belts. Avoid mowing in the rain to prevent wet belts. Replace worn-out belts with new sets, ensuring you use one brand of belts with the same dimensions.

  If your Belco Lawn Mower is providing a bad cut and the cutting system is clogging, the blades may be dull or damaged. Replace dull or damaged blades with a whole new set. For blades dull on one side, install them on the disc with the opposite direction of rotation.

What to do if Belco Lawn Mower cutting system tilts back?

  Rachel MolinaAug 27, 2025
  If your Belco Lawn Mower's cutting system tilts to the back during normal operation due to the fuse, it could be because the fuse spring is damaged or needs adjustment, or due to an uneven surface such as hardened molehills. Check and adjust the tension of the spring, replacing it if damaged. Additionally, decrease your driving speed and tilt the cutting system to the back when encountering uneven surfaces.
