On self-propelled mowers, the engine belt transmits 
power from engine to drive disc. The drive disc 
powers the poly-v belt, which engages the 
transmission that powers the rear wheels. Should 
these belts become worn, they could cause slippage, 
which would impair mower performance. The 
condition of the engine belt and poly-v belt should be 
checked after every 25 hours of mower operation.
